Photo Series debuted at Art-A-Whirl.

Mark Wojahn debuted the photo series "Scenes of the Resistance" at his Minneapolis art studio on May 15th, 2026. This debut happened in conjunction with the largest art crawl in the USA, ART-A-WHIRL.The MN Art Festival has been happening since 1995 in Northeast Minneaplis. ART-A-WHIRL is often voted the nations Best Art Crawl per USA Today. 

"Scenes of the Resistance" is a on going photo series about the different protests happening in Minneapolis, Madison and Milwaukee Wisc. The protests covered have been either NO KINGS or ICE demonstrations. Wojahn sees this series important as documents and as an historical record, The series focuses on the people and how they express themselves and their civil disobedience and or protest. Wojahn is very keyed in on the signs they create and their emotional response. 

This was a multi-media exhibit featuring photographs, video and a life sized mannequin. Protester Jeanne Minnick who lived on the same Mpls street that Renae Goode was killed on, donated her protest clothes, and a sign for the mannequin on display. 

Reaction from the attendees ranged from somber rememberance to heartfelt thanks that this work was recorded and on display for the Art Crawl. One young man asked Wojahn if he had made a lot of money on the work, Wojahn responded that "This work isn't made for monetary gain, but he gets more conversation and thoughts shared with him than dollar bills. This work is about validating a community response to current events." 

Also on exhibit this weekend at Studio 145 was Wojahn latest documentary, "The Dance Is Not Over" about the life and work of Patrick Scully. Wojahn and Wilbur Ince's screening series Casket Cinema hosted the film. Afterwards Wilbur, Patrick Scully and Wojahn took questions from the audience. 

'Dance Is Not Over' Wisconsin Premeire!

 “The Dance Is Not Over” had its' Wisc. premeire in Mineral Point, Wisconsin at the Driftless Film Fest on November 7th 2025. It was awesome to screen it in their historic opera house.

We ended the evening at the Mineral Point hotel. Patrick Scully has a few more fans in Wisconsin. We will be back.

Winter 2024-25 Patrick Scully Films Update

Good news to report...

Dear fans and patrons for the films about Patrick Scully,

I hope this finds you all warm and happy with your loved ones. As many of you remember, It's been over two years since we had a successful fundraiser and almost 6 years since I began making this film. We've done a lot of work in those years and we have used most of the resources that you generously gave.

I was really hoping that I would not have to ask for more, Luckily it looks like I may not have to! A fairy godmother (of sorts) has told me recently, the Mn State Arts Board has awarded me a modest grant to finish the film! This may be enough to pay for its completion. Thank you to the state for stepping in, and just at the right time! This is our first grant!

As I said in the last update, We have submitted 'The Dance Is Not Over' to a few festivals. We are still hoping for a Spring 2025 premiere. We have asked a few experts to look at the "fine cut", we've gotten good notes from them on how to make the film a better watch and more historically accurate. We are getting so close! Wish us luck!

If you still would like to give so we can be fully funded or to recieve producer credit, Our goal is to finish raising $41,450 to ensure that Patrick’s story – which in many ways is all our stories – gets told.I want to thank Susan D. for donating $50 earlier this year.

All donations will be designated for the completion of this work.

Funders giving $20,000 will be credited as Executive Producers

$10,000 will be credited as Producers

$5,000 will be credited as Associate Producers

Any amount will also be listed in the credits of the film
