"For more than forty years, St. Paul, Minnesota-based artist and arts activist Ta-coumba T. Aiken has forged a practice that is deeply rooted in community. He is known for his remarkable fluency between the various facets of his practice—studio artist, public art practitioner, educator, and artistic collaborator—and has gained recognition for his overlapping interests in public art and community engagement. From his paintings to commissioned installations to ambitious works in public spaces, Aiken applies the same lens: 'to heal people and their communities by evoking a positive spirit.'" - Siri Engberg
