The Holding Shanty
The Holding Shanty will be part of this year’s Art Shanty Projects on Bde Unma in St. Paul, MN. Come and visit us, and take in all the other art shanties, artist performances, and other programming.
The Holding Shanty
Holding Shanty is about being held back, or detained, and it’s also about being held up, or supported, through deep transition. Better Futures Minnesota, our partner, trains men in the deconstruction of buildings and the reconstruction of their dreams after incarceration. The Shanty’s design was developed after conversations with the organization and its partners, and it offers physical and performative experiences that emphasize holding as an action of processing, reconstruction, and care.
Hours are from 10am-4pm on Saturdays and Sundays, January 18 - February 9, 2020.
