Arts Writing from Mn, Beyond Mn
Tikkun Bambara is interested in the stewardship of Black Studies through what might be called adventurous traditions of love. He is particularly interested in the spiritual imperatives and covenants of Black Studies. He currently holds a position teaching Critical Ethnic Studies in Minnesota.
He is the founder of a local art cooperative in South Minneapolis for Black Artists. His work can be thought of as love letters with footnotes and prayers with citations.
Bambara has received the Verve Grant, the Beyond the Pure fellowship, The Emerging Writers Grant, and The Spoken Word Immersion Fellowship for his work. His essays are available at Mn Artists through the Walker Art Center.
