walker art center closure ice protest 1234770547

The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis will close on Friday, January 23, to participate in the Day of Truth and Freedom protest, a statewide general strike organized by local labor unions and community groups in response to increased ICE presence in Minnesota. The museum is the largest institution to join over 300 small businesses, cultural organizations, and nonprofits in shuttering for the day, citing its institutional values of community care and staff support. The closure follows ICE's Operation Metro Surge, which intensified enforcement in the Twin Cities, and the January 7 killing of U.S. citizen Renée Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, which sparked nationwide protests and lawsuits against the Department of Homeland Security.

Art exhibit at Brooklyn Public Library asks visitors to imagine a world without prisons

Artist Vic Liu and abolitionist organizer Mariame Kaba have launched "The Warehouse," a large-scale exhibition at the Brooklyn Public Library’s Bedford branch. Featuring over two dozen paintings and a dedicated children’s wing, the installation explores the concept of prison abolition by visualizing a society supported by robust healthcare, housing, and community care. The project moves away from traumatic imagery, instead focusing on the humanity of incarcerated individuals and the tangible possibilities of a world without prisons.
