Phelps Park - the hive by Jedi Maji in Minneapolis

Jendayi, is a self-taught multi-disciplinary artist born and raised on the southside of Minneapolis, MN. His work sits at the cross-sections of art, storytelling, activism and innovation. Pulling from a wide array of experiences and mediums, Jedi is constantly looking for cool ways to present paradigms shifts. Most apparent in his work is the idea of duality and perspective which he uses as tools to manifest a shared understanding in the world. And with each collection and project Jedi calls into question the status quo by using symmetry, layering, movement, color and light to pull viewers from one perspective to the other. This approach has ushered his work into a space where his work is distinctly unique and recognizable. In his next phase of work, viewers can expect to see an expansion of previous collections that draw directly from his experiences and focus on current issues of race and identity in Minnesota.
