Racial Healing
The Penumbra of the future is a dynamic performing arts, retreat, and learning center developing new work, ideas, and sustainable strategies for social change led and generated by artists. We will nurture ethical expressions of the human spirit to inspire creativity, enact justice, and illuminate pathways to build more compassionate communities.

Our Defining Challenge
We will help Minnesotans acknowledge racist systems, to address the disparities within our state, and attend to the trauma sustained from weathering these conditions.
