SCORCHED FEET (ENGLISH) / PIES QUEMADOS (SPANISH) Scorched Feet/Pies Quemados is an experimental, bilingual (Spanish/English) broadside founded in 2020 in Minneapolis by artists Alexa Horochowski and R Yun Keagy. Presented both as a physical publication and online, it features visual and textual essays by local, immigrant, and BIPoC artists whose work intersects with socio-political discourse in the U.S., Mexico, Central America, and Indigenous communities. Inspired by the Nahuatl word Nepantla (threshold land/tierra entre medio), the broadside was founded in response to the power struggles and political upheaval we are witnessing as climate change compels us to prepare for alternate futures.
The first edition was published on May 25, 2021 to honor the one year anniversary of George Floyd’s untimely death at the hands of police in Minneapolis.Printed copies are available at the MCBA shop.
