Bring your blanket and relax for an evening of immersive lit experiences. Hear live readings from local writers and poets exploring the thematic threads of bodies, connection, and autonomy, plus music stylings by local DJs.
During the event, visitors can board the Body Freedom for Every(Body) Truck, an exhibition on wheels celebrating the intersections of the bodily autonomy. The truck has traveled over 10,000 miles around the U.S. and will be making its Twin Cities stop at the Walker. With over 200 artworks on board, this campaign addresses the importance of agency, autonomy, and choice when it comes to healthcare and individual identity, and sheds light on reproductive justice, queer liberation, and trans joy.
Enjoy curated picnic snacks and libations from Cardamom, available for purchase on the hillside. Menus available upon request.
Gallery admission is free on Thursday nights, 5–9 pm. Save time and reserve your gallery admission tickets online.
