Thank you to everyone that attended our activation on Raspberry Island on Saturday for the Wakpa Triennial Art Festival! It was so incredible to hear the poems shared by community members during the Public Poetry Reading sponsored by Capitol Region Watershed District. Not to mention the stunning flower mosaic produced by Oyate Hotanin. Artist Gita Ghei presented a very thoughtful and educational art experience on water health and the Beautiful Buffalo Dreamers opened and closed the day with heartfelt, profound and original music.

This event concluded our in-person events for Wakpa Triennial Art Festival, but you can still see poster tapestry at 201 N Sibley Street, St. Paul, MN (E 2nd street between Sibley and Jackson).
