burn something collective
purpose
Burn Something Collective works at the intersection of curation, publishing, and peer-to-peer mentorship to support the agency and development of Black and POCI femme, nonbinary, and trans artists.
vision
We envision a world in which expression from queer bipoc artists is not erased, overlooked, undercut, or confined by imposed categories. A space for nourishment and growth in resistance to and beyond the white gaze. A space of encounter, hope, and the cultivation of intergenerational conversation and lifelong practice.
goals
1
Be a point of connection and opportuntity for the Twin Cities’ intergenerational community of Black and POCI artists, writers, curators, and cultural workers.
2
​Turn scarcity into abundance by establishing a healing relationship with our resources, such that they are used for reparative means.
3
​Cultivate peer-to-peer and intergenerational mentorship to each other with an understanding that we are each complete, capable, self-actualizing, and changing constantly.
