Creativity an act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity characterised by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. If you have ideas, but don't act on them, you are imaginative but not creative.

Filmed over 13 months, "Project Phoenix" is a documentary that shows how creativity has the power to help make a meaningful change to someone's life. It follows the journey of Roger Mouton, a former member of the "Hard Livings" and “Numbers Gang”, who was forced into gang life at an early age after tragically losing his family. With nothing to lose, he did what he had to in order to survive. After several years, he managed to claw his way out of the darkest pits of the underworld, only to find himself being held back by the gang-assoicated tattoos that cover his body.

International pop

Organized by the Walker Art Center, International Pop chronicles the global emergence of Pop art from the 1950s through the early 1970s. While previous exhibitions and prevailing scholarship have primarily focused on the dominance of Pop activity in New York and London during this time, this exhibition examines work from artists across the globe who were confronting many of the same radical developments, laying the foundation for the emergence of an art form that embraced figuration, media strategies, and mechanical processes with a new spirit of urgency and/or exuberance.

75th Anniversary

Walker Art Center’s celebration of 75 years of collecting continues in the Burnet Gallery with a selection of recent acquisitions. Global, cross-disciplinary, and diverse, the exhibition reflects the Walker’s continued efforts to collect the most adventuresome works being made today.

Tanya Tagaq in Concert

“Tagaq projects sounds that carry the imprint of the body’s secret contours and recesses … to summon voices from the flesh cavity haunts of animal spirits and primal energies.” —The Wire (UK)

Inuit throat singer and tour-de-force vocalist Tanya Tagaq reclaims the controversial 1922 silent film Nanook of the North in a live accompaniment to its clichéd images of life in an early 20th-century Inuit community in northern Quebec. Her combination of improvisation with traditional roots and her deep sense of life in the Arctic create a powerful soundscape of authentic emotion. Featuring percussionist Jean Martin and violinist Jesse Zubot.
