On the third episode of “The Creative Placemaking Podcast”, Jordan and Lynne speak to Roger Cummings, founder of Juxtaposition Arts (JXTA) located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Roger is multi-talented artist and community activist who has been navigating various obstacles in his work building an ar response to the COVID-19 pandemic, protecting his community from violence after George Floyd’s death, and restructuring JXTA after his wife and JXTA’s co-founder, DeAnna Cummings, transitioned to another organization. Join the LISC Creative Placemaking Team as Roger describes how the unity of black activists and white anarchists helped to inspire creative placemaking in real time and the artist’s role during times of political violence and unrest.
