Examine the power of the voice as a tool for exchange and liberation with the San Francisco–based Futurefarmers. This interdisciplinary collective is internationally known for making art that is politically, socially, and environmentally relevant. The group’s Open Field project, commissioned in partnership with Northern Lights.mn, has them working with a cadre of singers, auctioneers, theorists, artists, and ethnomusicologists. Join them throughout the month for performances, film screenings, storytelling, and an auction as the artists “raise the voice of the people.” Stop by the FlatPak House in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden for a schedule of programs, and other happenings throughout August, particularly on Thursday evenings (futurefarmers.com/buildingavoicebox).
