Fragments Reimagined, on display in MCAD’s main gallery and curated by Keisha Williams and Nikki McComb, serves as a call to action against gun violence. The work featured is created by local artists and activists, inspired by the tragic losses experienced by the Minneapolis community.

Nikki McComb, a co-founder of Minneapolis nonprofit, Art Is My Weapon, notes that this is her 13th year exhibiting her pieces, which are made out of decommissioned gun parts. “Art can change the trajectory of someone’s thought processes and has changed the trajectory processes primarily with some of the youth we work with,” McComb notes.

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.
