Exhibition Description: CULTURE WEAPON is a digital exhibition that explores how trans self expression intersects with cultural roles, spirituality, and relationships with nature. Through their varying practices, artists Puppies Puppies(Jade Guanaro Kuriki-Olivo), aegor ray, Deán Santo and Ava Tuitt sustain, reshape, embody, and sometimes reject these intersections, sharing their own negotiations with collectivity.

CULTURE WEAPON’s Community Event is presented in partnership with Red Eye Theater and Yearly Emerging Practices.

Working towards this culminating fellowship exhibition, Sati was paired with mentors Taylor Jasper and Erin Robideaux Gleeson and offered overall guidance by Barak adé Soleil, Director of ECI and Founder of Yearly Emerging Practices.

CULTURE WEAPON is part of Yearly Emerging Practice’s ReFrame Series, made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council and Minnesota State Arts Board thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
