Peace Post Unveiling & Growing Resistance Gallery Tour

February 22 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Free

Part of the “Growing Resistance: Untold Stories of Milwaukee’s Community Guardians” exhibit currently showing at the Brooks Stevens Gallery at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD), Community guardians are common folks—homeowners, renters, block leaders, elders, and civic minded youth who make a positive impact in their neighborhoods.  The exhibition  and its affiliated events showcase voices of resistance and stories of resilience from Milwaukee’s most historically underrepresented neighborhoods. The gallery hosts student-guided tours every Friday at 11:15 am through March 2nd.

The event on Feb. 22 includes Milwaukee Through Embodied Research dance interventions and is at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. Free and no registration required.

The project is funded by Wisconsin Humanities (grant to UWM), Wisconsin Arts Board (grant to MSOE) and MIAD.
