Public Reception: September 11, 2025, 4:30-6pm

Artivism—Luis Fitch’s art practice—obliterates the line between art and activism. Born of rasquache, the DIY ethos that elevates cast‑off materials into potent symbols, Fitch transforms corrugated cardboard, stencils, house paint, sand, and gesso into tactile “art boxes” and bold wheat‑paste installations.

A decade of his #FreeArt campaign across the Twin Cities unfolds here: hundreds of signed, numbered boxes and guerrilla‑style posters—once tucked into sidewalks, underpasses, and vacant storefronts—now inhabit the gallery. Their frayed edges and faded pigments form a living archive of community resilience, while sand drawn from both sides of the U.S.–Mexico border conjures shared journeys of migration and resistance. 

Alongside these relics, new public‑art interventions extend Fitch’s street practice into immersive installations you can touch, explore, and activate. Though his work travels from Tijuana to audiences worldwide, his heart remains in Minneapolis—a city remade by its Latinx communities. His interventions claim public space, demanding art that’s immediate, legible, and accessible to those too often marginalized.

Artivism is a call to witness, to connect, and to stand in solidarity. In this hushed gallery, you can still feel the street’s pulse.”
