BEMIDJI —
will host a “Fire in the Village” event with musician Annie Humphrey and visual artist Shanai Matteson at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2, at Headwaters, 519 Minnesota Ave. NW.
Following a short performance and conversation with Humphrey, Matteson will lead participants in a block printing activity.
These activities are part of the fall tour of Fire in the Village, a new arts collective led by Humphrey of the Leech Lake Nation, David Huckfelt of Minneapolis and Matteson of rural Aitkin County.
“The goals of the group are to create art and culture experiences in small communities and cities to remind people that we are made of earth, and we are power,” a release said.
These concerts and community art experiences center on themes of shared connection with land and water, the importance of free thinking and creative expression and care for our communities in tumultuous times, explained the release.
“Our Fire in the Village tour brings music, storytelling, visual art and an all-inclusive spirit to small communities in our region,” Humphrey said in the release. “The purpose of this tour is to gather and create together, so that we will recognize our connections and the very real power that is within each of us.”
This event is free and open to the public.
