Join us Thursday, February 20th, 2025 for the Opening Reception of “You Betcha! Farmer-Labor Solidarity is Possible!”
Did you know that Minnesota is home to the most successful third-party movement in U.S. history? 2024 marked the 100th anniversary of the Farmer-Labor Party and the remarkable movement of solidarity that supported it. In honor of this centennial celebration and in partnership with Monument Lab’s Re-Generation initiative, the Farmer-Labor Education Committee (FLEC) commissioned Gita Ghei to create a permanent traveling sculpture, commemorating the Farmer-Labor movement in Minnesota. She and her team engaged with people throughout the state to inform permanent art that commemorates this important history in a whimsical artwork!
Experience this Moveable Monument, a tangible, touchable, playable monument!
Gita Ghei is a metal sculptor, specializing in public art and teaching.
