December 2006
KKC has launched an exciting Artist In Residence with artist Anastasia Ward. Ward is working with youth to design and build signature, one of a kind kinetic sculptures using recycled plush toy materials, and the inclusion of motors, music boxes, springs and crickets (programmable mini-handheld computers). Ward and KKC youth work to collectively gather and inventory supplies and tools needed for the individual and collective creative body. Youths resourcefulness and scavenger skills are being utilized creatively to scour thrift stores for recycled toy parts.
July 2006
KKC has launched an exciting Artist In Residence with artist Peter Haakon Thompson. Working through self-portraiture, Thompson is engaging youth in photography workshops that explore intimate personal connections amidst the diverse landscapes of their lives. Homeless youth will partner to create photographic work that represents meaningful and emotional responses to places and spaces they occupy. The spaces our youth occupy are intrinsically emotional and historically charged due to the transient nature and the impact of homelessness. Youth will photograph, explore, journal and engage in dialogue about the lenses with which we see and share spaces in our lives.

ABOUT: Homeless teens come from urban and rural backgrounds. There is a wide variety of race and cultures such as Native-American, African-American, Asian American, Latino/Hispanic, and European-American. In addition, refugee youth from Somalia, S.E. Asia and Eastern Europe use the Project OffStreets drop-in center. The youth are diverse in their gender and sexual orientation. They come into Kulture Klub with a wide range of artistic ability and exposure- from those who attend the arts magnet schools to those who have never drawn before, or who have never attended an arts event.
There is a place for all who want to participate in Kulture Klub, regardless of ability and/or experience. We create the programming to appeal to a wide range of interests and skills among the youth and provide exposure to the broad diversity present in the Twin Cities arts community. Our programming often explores issues of gender, racism, sexual orientation and class perspective.
