With generous support from the Mark and Mary Goff Fiterman Fund, the Friends of the Institute present Seitu Ken Jones, a multidisciplinary artist, advocate, and maker based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Working between the arts and public spheres, Jones channels the spirit of radical social movements into experiences that foster critical conversations and nurture more just and vibrant communities from the soil up. He is recognized as a dynamic collaborator and creative force for civic engagement.

Artist and advocate Seitu Ken Jones has been tending the soil of community through art for more than 40 years.

“My work is a testament of radical love for our Beloved Community — the local community, our ancestral community, and the community of innate humanity.”
