Exhibition

The Letter Formally Known As Q is a multimedia oral history and archival project documenting the narratives of queer/trans immigrants of color and their personal experiences of migrating, growing up, and making home in the Twin Cities. Focusing on the root causes of mass migration and displacement around the world, particularly the role of U.S. foreign policy, this series maps the lived experiences of Queer and Trans immigrants of color and the ways in which their bodies are policed, censored, and surveillanced on a daily basis.

The master of fine arts 2020 graduates invite you to the 2020 Thesis Exhibition and virtual panel discussions.

America, I sing back. Sing back what sung you in.
Sing back the moment you cherished breath.
Sing you home into yourself and back to reason.
