Sing. Act. Glam. Listen. Share. \nJoin us for an interactive\, community empowered art lab showcase. The East Side Freedom Library Art Lab artists will bring their installations showcasing their work and inviting everyone in the community\, your community\, to join in artmaking\, storytelling\, story mapping and more.\n\nArtists Sophie Wang\, Sterling Miller\, Marcia Rowe and Lis Sundberg will engage you in art\, stories and history. Paint\, print\, draw\, type\, zine\, and write with our story map of Saint Paul and beyond!\n\n\nSophie Wang: My primary artistic practice is the creation of comic zines that take a critical power-informed lens to dominant science and technology. I began making these comics when I co-founded an activist collective at the intersection of science and social justice called Free Radicals and wanted to use my ability to draw in service of the work. I came to this work originally out of a deep sense of responsibility to make conversations critiquing the imperialist\, objectivist\, universalist nature of dominant western science more accessible\, and to engage more people in envisioning what more liberatory forms of science\, knowledge-making\, and epistemology have\, do\, and could look like. \nSterling Miller: Social Justice is informing my art by pressuring me create work that speaks to the needs of Black folks. I\, like many others\, know that to identify as Black is grounds for political warfare. I know that highlighting Black revolutionaries in performance art acts as a catalyst to inspire Artists and Audiences alike. When we get to see the Assata Shakur’s story on stage we are enthralled by her iconic nature and her ability to achieve the unthinkable. In works that took place after this I have always tried to center Black/African-American narratives and cultural practices. \nLis Sundberg: I have been interested in the intersections between art and social justice for a long time because art is a powerful and accessible way to engage people in social justice. Art extends topics of social justice to a wider audience and allows representation through a range of mediums. I am interested in participatory art because it creates opportunities for people to have a meaningful experience while contributing their stories to the piece. The art I create is informed by my history of participation in social justice movements. \nMarcia Rowe: Social justice informs my art through my lived\, academic\, and professional experiences. It creates innovation\, niche experiences\, cultural knowledge\, and growth of connection between myself and a diverse audience. My academic background centers intersecting visual arts with sociology practices\, visual and qualitative research\, design studies\, and community engagement experiences. \nTHIS EVENT IS FREE AND VERY OPEN TO EVERYONE!
