Tell it anyway, 2024

Saturday, October 5 at 7:30 p.m.

“As relevant as any living American artist. His art speaks directly to the moment that we find ourselves in.” —Mpls.St.Paul Magazine

Among the most influential cross-disciplinary artists of his generation, MacArthur Fellow Ralph Lemon returns to the Walker with an explosion of sound and movement. Tell it anyway, an ambitious new performance, arrives 10 years after his landmark premiere of hybrid lecture-performance-musical Scaffold Room. Brimming with artistic fury (and grace) befitting our times, Lemon and his multidisciplinary collaborators—including artists with backgrounds in performance, sculpture, acting, and music—examine issues of memory, race, and impermanence. Concurrently, Lemon and Kevin Beasley’s hypnotic sound and video installation Rant redux (2020–2024) is on view in the Perlman Gallery.

Tell it anyway, 2024 is an event/performance involving the participation of Kevin Beasley, Dwayne Brown, Lysis (Ley), Paul Hamilton, Darrell Jones, Ralph Lemon, April Matthis, Roderick Murray, Mariama Noguera-Devers, Okwui Okpokwasili, Angie Pittman, Samita Sinha, and Mike Taylor.
