Unveiled by the Midway Contemporary Art and headlined by artist Karthik Pandian, American Indian Movement member Mike Forcia, as well as an ensemble of Twin Cities based musicians, dancers, media workers, and activists, the free and open to the public performance will start at the Minnesota State Capitol and proceed into Lowertown St. Paul for its finale.
A snippet from their press release: "IN THE RIVER is described as intertwining Indigenous prophecy, Black music, and stories of survival to challenge the colonial monument’s claim on space and time. It is centered around the Indigenous-led takedown of the Christopher Columbus monument outside the Capitol building in June of 2020. That summer, following the murder of George Floyd, activists were moved to topple many similar statues around the world including a Columbus Statue in Boston that was beheaded, and Richmond that was thrown into a lake."
