MCAD MFA alumni Zoe Cinel ’18 is presenting their newest curated experience, Extraordinary Elsewhere, which features numerous MCAD MFA alumni, mentors, and instructors, including Peng Wu, Mayumi Amada, Shafrin Islam ’24, and Ivonne Yáñez. The exhibit's reception on August 23 featured an interactive tour of the exhibit with the curator and artists, followed by an interactive art activity in the studio classroom by Ivonne Yáñez that explored global narratives and artistic expression.

The event finished off with a live performance by Rituparna Rana, based on her video piece, Rooted in Motion. The performance drew on traditional Indian dance and was shaped by her lived experiences across geographies, following her as she traverses unknown landscapes.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
