Love In The Time Of Resistance

April 7 - May 7, 2026

A Co-Prosperity window show and activation showcasing an incomplete collection of art and design in response to operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis, MN, created by artists near and far. 

The posters, banners, buttons, stickers, whistles, zines, and other items gathered were created in response to the Operation Metro Surge, which was focused in Minneapolis, but affected all of Minnesota. As communities came together to look out for each other, artists and non-artists produced pieces that spoke to feelings that many were experiencing…

What is gathered here for this exhibition is in no way everything that was created. It is an incomplete archive. That said, it is emblematic of the larger response of art and design.

This show is presented anonymously. In short, it is by and for those in Minnesota who experienced Operation Metro Surge. It is by and for those who grew accustomed to falling asleep to the sound of helicopters. It is by and for those who stood on street corners in freezing temperatures with nothing more than whistles in order to keep their neighbors safe. It is by and for those who love their community and those who lost members of their community.
