Roger Cummings is a Minneapolis-based practitioner whose work interrogates hegemonic spatial practices through interventions at the nexus of public art, urban design, and cultural preservation. As co-founder and Chief Cultural Producer of Juxtaposition Arts (JXTA), Cummings has developed a praxis-oriented approach that troubles the boundaries between artistic production, community agency, and institutional critique. His transdisciplinary methodology spans sculpture, painting, collage, and immersive installations, situating hip-hop aesthetics, urban palimpsests, and diasporic narratives as sites of knowledge production. He sees art as a form of social action, engaging with buildings, archives, and forgotten histories. As an educator, Cummings uses a bold teaching style that treats art-making as a way to explore place, memory, and community power—inviting students to see creative practice as a tool for deep change.
