"The Walker Art Center will be closed on Friday 23 January, and Nile Harris's performance has been cancelled,"
"This reflects our institutional values to centre our community, support our staff and to approach our work with care and safety in mind."
"We're pausing operations to recognise the weight of this moment in our community and to care for our employees and people in the Twin Cities community."
"We believe that the only antidote to Ice's violent, divisive terrorisation of our community is to stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbours and our besieged city,"
Leading art museums, non-profit organisations and galleries in Minneapolis and Saint Paul will join a general strike and mass protest on Friday 23 January to denounce violent activities by federal law-enforcement agents, including ICE. Institutions named include the Walker Art Center, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Weisman Art Museum, Praxis Photo Arts Center and other smaller organisations and galleries. The Walker will close and cancel a Nile Harris performance, with performances resuming on 24 January. Local leaders plan a downtown Minneapolis march, and participants frame the strike as solidarity with immigrant neighbours and a condemnation of federal actions.
