Land Acknowledgement
MIXTAPE is in St. Paul, a city located on traditional, ancestral and contemporary lands of the Dakota people, whose origin story begins at a sacred place they call Bdote, a point where the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers converge. Additionally, we acknowledge the Ojibwe, whose
homelands extend northwards from where we live, work, and study.
Uprising Acknowledgement
In May 2020, the murder of George Floyd by a police office in South Minneapolis sparked a national movement. This movement was marked by frustration and fire, deliberation and dance, education and action. Instead of pivoting, we expanded, asked questions, and invested in our communities. We held our presenting institution accountable by asking about their relationship to the Minneapolis police department. We invested in BIPOC-owned businesses in our communities. We stand against systemic racism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia. We celebrate love, joy, resilience, and artistic excellence.
SPONSORSHIP
MIXTAPE’s work is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Metro Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. This activity is funded, in part, by an appropriation from the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the State’s general fund.
