Fortifying the Soul - 
Black Art Collectors in Minnesota

Art collecting is an offensive act.  Placing objects in one's home is a very personal matter . . . not dis-similar in motivation to the practices  associated with voodoo, Santeria, Catholicism, or ancestor recognition . . . at least for the collection of collectors assembled for this show.  Like family portraits staged around the living space these art objects for, for these collectors, serve as reminders of who they are, who their people are, and of their consciousness trajectory today.

Seven local collectors allowed us to visit their homes and collect living and tactile remnants of their spirit.  The resulting collection of sculpture, memorabilia, paintings, and glasswork showcase the variety of their journeys.
