Forecast/Forward is a new programming series by Forecast featuring those working at the intersection of arts, culture, place and equity. We’re taking stories off the pages of our magazine Public Art Review and bringing them to you direct from leading practitioners and artists. This topic is featured in the 2020 Public Art Review Issue 59.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Kealoha Ferreira is an AAPI dance artist of Native Hawaiian and Filipino, Chinese ancestry, from Honolulu, Hawaii. She moved to Minnesota in 2011 and began working with Ananya Dance Theatre (ADT) in 2013. Her love for the company and its contemporary technique, Yorchha, took hold while she was a dance major at the University of MinnesotaIn 2018. Kealoha was named ADT’s Artistic Associate and Co-Leader of its St Paul home, the Shawngram Institute for Performance & Social Justice, where she teaches community classes, hosts events, and leads company rehearsals.
Olivia Levins Holden is a queer, mixed Boricua muralist, organizer, mixed media artist and arts educator, born and residing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She devotes much of her time to facilitating and collaborating on murals. Her work translates community conversations and people’s history into collaborative public art, explores healing through expression of complexity, duality, and her own experience of multiple identities, lineages, languages and places. She strives to explore many ways the arts can tell our stories, plant seeds, and combat toxic narratives and decolonize through truth-telling.
ABOUT THE FACILITATOR
Candida Gonzalez is a Puerto Rican native of South Minneapolis. She is passionate about education, community engagement through the arts and equitable arts access. She approaches her work by centering at the intersection of art, activism, healing and personal/community empowerment and is deeply invested in the concept of using art and community design as tools to wage love and healing. Candida is a member of the Forecast consulting team and leads Forecast Making It Public workshops across the country.

For years people always state “FEED THE HOMELESS “ like they are not part the community. Home is where one LIVES returning to ones TERRITORY. They live in this community. LESS only thing they have less is shelter. Treating them like vagrants and disease that has torn a community apart. To us it’s the totally opposite. They have goals, interest and some of their situation has influence the impact of the community; only thing they do not have is proper shelter. Even people with proper shelter are still lacking or have delinquency to grow. So, we are here to bring awareness to their LIVES by “FEED OUR COMMUNITY” and fill stomach with LOVE, PEACE & HARMONY!

Event Details
Why: As Muslims and Jews, we’re socialized to believe negative stereotypes about each other. We need to back up and better understand the systems of oppression– Islamophobia and antisemitism– that drive those false narratives, and work to break them down together, in relationship with each other.
What: A space to reflect, share and learn about Islamophobia and antisemitism as experienced by those who identify as Muslim or Jewish women.* (*We know the term “woman” can be incomplete. We’re going to center the voices of anyone who has been conditioned with expectations around Muslim or Jewish femininity.)
Invitation:
If you self-identify as a Muslim or Jewish woman* and are willing to share your experiences with Islamophobia and antisemitism, your voices will be centered. This will be an opportunity to link arms and make sense of these systems of oppression together.
If you do NOT identify as a Muslim or Jewish woman*, you are invited to listen and learn. Your voice will not be centered in the space, but your listening and allyship is critical for our shared liberation. We appreciate your desire to learn alongside us.
Logistics:
Dinner from 5:30-6:00 pm, Workshop from 6:00 – 8:30pm
Where- Islamic Center of Minnesota
Application:
Space is limited, and participants will be intentionally selected to build a room of mixed identities and experiences. Please fill out this Google form to apply for a spot. You will be notified by no later than Wed, 12/11 if you have been accepted as a participant.
Muslim and Jewish Women of Minnesota is on a mission to build our shared power to make change in the progressive policy areas in which our beliefs and values intersect. We do our work rooted in faith with the understanding that our voices together are greater than the sum of their parts. We imagine a future where Muslim and Jewish women feel safe, know they belong and are a deeply connected affinity group.

This edition of #SupportLocalHustle BIPOC pop up will be held at Gandhi Mahal (3009 27th Ave S) on Saturday, December 21, 11a-4p
. Everyone is welcome at this free event! CASH ONLY please.
#SupportLocalHustle popups are an opportunity to support local BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) artists, bakers, creatives, and makers. We have a charitable cause you can donate to at the door, good vibes, and beautiful wares.
This event is free to enter, cash ONLY, and open to all folks who would like to contribute to a respectful space explicitly against sexism, transphobia (please don’t assume our pronouns!), and racism.
—– ABOUT THE Vendors —–
All of these vendors are proudly BIPOC. Some of us are queer, trans, disabled, chronically ill. We recognize that there are many market spaces that are not welcoming to us, and there are systems in place that exclude us from being successful in many spaces. This pop up is an answer to that! We want to provide opportunities for our beautiful, hardworking, creative selves to succeed as a way of celebrating and uplifting our BIPOC community.
Vendors will be selling their art, baked goods, pickles, and jewelry, among other treasures. Goods are mostly $1-$30. Many offer sliding scale pricing.
Pickle Witch (v/gf fermented pickles)
Art by Tori Hong (stickers, zines, cards, art prints)
hclou art (uniquely queer art)
… and more!
—– ABOUT THE Space—–
This event will take place at Gandhi Mahal (3009 27th Ave S). The entrance to Gandhi Mahal Restaurant’s community room is on 27th Ave S, south of Lake St., on the east side of the street, near the intersection of Minnehaha and Lake. Enter through the community room entrance, not the restaurant entrance. It is accessible by Blue Line LRT, 7, 21, 53 buses, there is bike parking and metered car parking on 27th Ave S, with additional car parking across Minnehaha.
The nearest ATM is located inside Minnehaha Liquors and Nuevo Rodeo. Please bring cash for vendors.
The space has no steps to get in, and one single stall (no-/all-gender) bathroom with handrails. Navigating inside the space with a wheelchair would be very tight, but doable.
