We’re living in the era of “Zoom University.” Some students long for the days when they could wear their newly thrifted chain link belt with their retro Jordans and be complimented for their outfit in Spanish class. Now, many students wake up ten minutes before lecture, grab their laptop and sit somewhere with their Zoom camera off.

But, some students still take pride in popping off a good fit, even if it’s via webcam. A&E talked to a few of these students using Zoom to spotlight their style.

Cyan Pampuch, a second-year student at the University of Minnesota, used to wear full ensembles of matching tops and bottoms, alongside thrifted clogs or sneakers. That was before the pandemic hit. Now, she occasionally puts on a vibrant top that gives a pop of color to her look, alongside drawing designs and patterns on her eyelids.

With all the time at home, Pampuch has taken up the habit of wearing outfits she never thought of wearing to school before. “I’ve noticed that during the age of Zoom and Zoom lectures, I’ve definitely become more experimental in how I dress,” Pampuch said. Crocheting fashion pieces like scarves and small tops has also become an addition to her quarantine look.

Second-year student Nina Karachunski has always been into art and designing clothing. This summer, she had more free time than ever to hone her skill and turn crochet bralettes into her new favorite fashion statements.

Beyond wearing her hand-crocheted garments during class, she found that her lectures are a great time to work on more projects. “I compulsively knit or crochet or sew sometimes, and I’ll usually always be making something during my Zoom classes,” Karachunski said.

Many students who look to show off their style and unique character during Zoom craft or design their own clothes. Sarah Olson, a fourth-year fashion merchandising student, is the co-founder of a successful Depop shop, Cherry Vision.

Olson’s favorite fashion pieces include crop tops, primary colored pants, silk material and things that sparkle. Although she doesn’t always wear her DIY clothing items during Zoom lectures, that doesn’t stop her from still representing her style.

“My usual zoom attire would be my full face of makeup with lashes. Usually I’ll only put on a top that’s semi cute,” Olson said

After opening her Depop shop last year, the majority of her wardrobe has come from the site or thrift stores. “I would say a solid 30% of my wardrobe are items I got from sellers on Depop, so yeah they make their way in. I have a lace turtleneck that I’ve been dying to wear to class,” Olson said. Her shop’s niche focuses on vintage or specific clothing items you wouldn’t expect to easily find in stores today.

Concerns surrounding social justice surged this summer, and discussions about how to address the problems many minority communities in the Twin Cities area face became a hot button topic. Twin Cities murder mystery novelist Priscilla Paton addresses the city’s social justice in her new crime novel “Should Grace Fail.”

In this edition to Paton’s Twin Cities mystery series she brings back recurring characters, detectives Erik Jansson and Deb Metzger, to take on a case about the murder of a former police officer who left the force under suspicion of police corruption.

Q: What drove you to write about crime?

A: My husband is a huge mystery reader and has been ever since we’ve been married. I’d read some, but then I was retiring from teaching about the time the “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” series came out. Scandinavian noir became very popular. My husband grew up in La Crosse, Wisconsin but was born in St. Paul [and] has family in this area that descended from Norwegian immigrants. They were very big into reading the Scandinavian noir. I began making fun of them. I would say, “Let me guess? The detective is emotionally damaged? Someone in the family has died horribly? Their personal life habits are terrible?” I was not totally respectful. I was alert to the formulas, but also I was maturing and what that meant was that reading at night has to get a little more exciting to stay awake. I transitioned at that time to reading a lot more mysteries. In my arguments, people would always say, “Why don’t you try and write one?”

Q: Why base the plot in Minneapolis?

A: To tell you the truth I wanted an excuse to explore the Twin Cities more. I did not want to write a small town mystery. I wanted more anonymity and I really liked the Twin Cities because there is a lot of nature in them too. I like a lot of outdoor scenes. The cities kind of do fit the noir style I was playing with. I was also inspired by other Minneapolis authors, John Sandford and Matt Goldman.

Q: How does history play a role in your novel?

A: You may start with a real event but then it gets in the way with fiction. If you try to stay true to a real person, it gets in the way of the fiction. There were some crimes against women. I think one woman was murdered by a man that she thought she was helping to a better life. In real life it was way worse than it turned out in my book. In real life, the women often ended up being murdered.

Q: What are some real-life Twin Cities locations included in the story?

A: The [Hazelden Betty Ford] rehab center, I think their festival is called Hazelfest. It’s a big fundraiser and music fest where the proceeds go to Hazelden programs to help people with addictions and alcoholism. I used Hazelfest as one of my inspirations. To be honest, I would spend a lot of time on Realtor.com to look up neighborhoods and I do go and drive around. I discovered Betty Danger’s [restaurant] when driving around, and that name was too good to ignore.

Q: How did you plan out what to research?

A: You do a lot of research and most of it doesn’t make it into the book. It gives you an understanding. For the book I’m working on now, I’m looking into redlining and zoning in the Twin Cities, which has been an issue. I was aware when writing “Should Grace Fail” which neighborhoods were considered wealthy. I even went to the Stone Arch Bridge twice and two key scenes in my book happen there.

Something to watch:
These classic movies were recently added to Netflix.

“Boyz n the Hood” (1991):
This movie highlights the issues of systemic racism and gentrification, affecting predominantly lower income, minority neighborhoods. Cuba Gooding Jr., Ice Cube and Morris Chestnut play a trio of best friends, growing up under the watch of cops and gangs in South Central Los Angeles. Its director, John Singleton, who has since passed, became the first Black man to be awarded Best Director at the Oscars.

“A Clockwork Orange” (1971):
Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 dystopian film, set under the rule of a totalitarian government, is another recent addition to Netflix.The plot is adapted from Anthony Burgess’ 1962 book and questions the psychological warfare that could happen to a society under complete government control.

“Ocean’s Eleven” (2001):
George Clooney and Brad Pitt play a trickster duo who set up a heist along with a group of career criminals to make millions off scamming the biggest casino in Vegas. Full of great action shots and a few comedic moments laced throughout, the star-studded film is a perfect jumpoff point for the Ocean’s film series.

Ariana Grande has returned yet again with her boisterous vocals and pop backbeats. Grande released her newest album, “Positions,” on Oct. 30. The album’s hit single and title track, “positions” crowned Grande as the first artist in history to debut five songs at No. 1 on Billboard’s The Hot 100 chart.

Grande chose to go a different route with this new project. On it, she pleads to settle down after experiencing a tumultuous love life in recent years. Grande and Mac Miller ended their two year relationship in 2018, with Miller passing away shortly after. In 2019, Grande and Pete Davidson broke off their engagement after about five months. This album is a stark contrast from her 2019 project “thank u, next,” which featured tracks like “ghostin” and “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored.”

The album kicks off with the song “shut up.” Her vocals are strong and smooth, comparable to Mariah Carey’s. Surprisingly for the tone of its lyrics — Grande continuously saying “shut up” and complaining about the public’s negativity toward her fame — the song carries a dreamy orchestral background.

Right after “shut up” comes “34+35.” It acts as an intro to the album’s message about her need for genuine affection and the dedication she would bring to her partner’s life. It’s another one of Grande’s signature pop-style ballads. Although the song is an innuendo for sex, the word “wifey” is dropped halfway through the song. Later in the song she says,

“But who’s counting the time/
When we got it for life.”

The album’s fifth track, “off the table,” features The Weeknd and has all the R&B flair one would expect from a track with the Canadian artist. In the song Grande worries whether she will love again as deeply as she has in her past.

“If you let me in your arms/
If you let me in your heart/
I don’t think that love’s completely off the table.”

On “positions,” the album’s 12th track, all of the lyrics center around her stepping into the role of homemaker.

“Switchin’ the positions for you/
Cookin’ in the kitchen, and I’m in the bedroom/
I’m in the Olympics, way I’m jumping through hoops/
Know my love infinite, nothin’ I wouldn’t do.”

As Grande’s sound continues to evolve further into the R&B spectrum, she continues to master topics like femininity, sex and romance. On “positions” the mix of dramatic emotions, relatable lyrics and dance-pop beats come together to create a project that maintains Grande’s trajectory to stardom.

The Tower, a student-run annual art and literary magazine here at the University of Minnesota, is preparing for the release of this year’s edition, complete with a very timely theme. Students get to share their experiences from this past year and illuminate stories of struggle and triumph.

The Tower is taking submissions for this year’s edition until Dec. 16. Students can submit their poetry, fiction, nonfiction and visual art.

This year’s theme is “catchlight” — an artistic term for when a sparkle of light can be seen in someone’s eye and usually used to reference a detail in a painting or photograph.

“Typically a catchlight is something that makes your subject seem alive,” said Marley Richmond, University of Minnesota fourth-year student and The Tower’s current editor-in-chief.

The magazine’s Instagram account has been promoting the catchlight theme over the past month by asking students to submit photos or art that relate to the theme, capturing the catchlights of every day. Addie Thomas, a University of Minnesota fourth-year student and current marketing director at The Tower, helps run The Tower’s Instagram account. She said with the current state of the world, she expects lots of emotionally charged submissions.

“It’s no lie that this has been a shitshow of a year. We’re expecting to see some really raw and some really powerful pieces,” Thomas said.

Last year’s magazine theme was “Each of Us Is Many,” which brought about discourse regarding the power that individual voices hold. Throughout the last few years, The Tower has been focused on selecting themes that tie into advocacy, highlighting vocal activism.

“We’ve also thought of The Tower as being a catchlight for campus. Students and diverse voices are really what breathes life into our campus, so that’s why we’re so excited to be compiling these different voices and stories,” Richmond said.

As the editor-in-chief, Richmond chooses student works for the issue which best represent how art can connect people together and help understand one another.

“Writing can make the personal feel universal and really connect to all of us, as a source of light,” Richmond said.

This upcoming spring, The Tower will host its annual launch party. The magazine has already begun meeting with the Weisman Art Museum (WAM) to plan out a virtual unveiling of the 2020 issue.

“We’re starting to meet with WAM and to talk about how we’re going to have this because COVID has given us a lot of really weird restrictions,” said Amanda Fort, University of Minnesota fourth-year student and chief editor of poetry at The Tower.

This year the magazine’s spring launch will have featured students from the 2019 issue come back to do readings and talk about their work.

Minneapolis indie musician and former Gopher Bobby Kabeya is setting himself up for a bright future with a hot new project from his group, Miloe.

Kabeya is the band’s front man, with University of Minnesota second-year Thomas Schroeder on guitar. The duo is set to release their upcoming EP “Greenhouse” on Oct. 30.

Kabeya, who is taking time off from school during the pandemic, lived with his family in the Democratic Republic of the Congo until he was 8 and then moved to the U.S. to reunite with his father, who had been granted asylum in the States and was working as a journalist.

Kabeya grew up going to shows for local bands like Hippo Campus and the Happy Children of Normal Parents. Now he cites members of Hippo Campus and the Happy Children as mentors, saying they will come by his studio sometimes to help with projects.

Caleb Hinz, lead singer of the Happy Children, met Kabeya before he started Miloe, when Hinz heard Kabeya’s high school band, Night Stones, play at a local house show five years ago.

“I remember hitting him up — he sent me these demos, and I was blown away. And I was like, ‘Dude, we gotta get in the studio and work on these together,’” said Hinz.

Members of Hippo Campus met Kabeya when he jumped on stage to dance during one of their concerts; they then got to speak with him after the show. Jake Luppen, lead singer of the now nationally acclaimed Hippo Campus, said he has no doubts Kabeya will make something of himself and his music.

“[Miloe] is the future of the scene. His songwriting is incredibly developed,” Luppen said.

Kabeya went on tour around the Midwest two summers ago to promote Miloe’s self titled EP, “Miloe.” Much of his time this last summer was spent working on advancing his technical music skills. “I’ve been trying to strengthen my own production skills,” said Kabeya. GarageBand is his main music creation platform when he is not working with a producer in the studio.

The majority of Miloe’s new EP “Greenhouse” was written and recorded in the winter of 2019 but in the wake of this year’s constant changes and obstacles, the release was pushed back to this fall.

“The newer stuff has a lot more energy than the stuff put out before. I think it’s because we have a lot more options for how we want our songs to sound. We have a lot more resources,” Schroeder said.

“Greenhouse” generates the feeling of a summer’s day paired with lyrics of teen romance and the complexities of finding yourself in adolescence. The youthful EP brings listeners back to their younger years and melodramatic relationships via ‘80s reminiscent synth tunes and bouncy guitar.

“I wanted to capture a bright summery vibe, which was a contrast to my first EP,” said Kabeya.

“Greenhouse” is meant to be a blanket of joyful reflection as Minnesota moves forward into colder months.

A livestream showcasing the EP’s music is set for later this fall. Miloe’s next concert, opening for Beach Bunny, is planned for fall of 2021. Kabeya then plans to head back out on the road with Schroeder for Miloe’s first nationwide tour.

Kabeya said, “It doesn’t feel real. It’s just on the calendar, and you’re watching, hoping that it happens.”

Top zinesters from around the metro are gearing up for the yearly opportunity to attend Minneapolis’ biggest zine get together, sharing their tiny magazines with each other and the community.

This year is the 16th year of the Twin Cities Zine Fest (TCZF), which has been hosted at the Minneapolis Central Library, but due to COVID-19 is being virtually hosted this year from Oct. 19 to 25. Last year, the festival had 100 zine vendors made up of creators and organizations. Only 50 zine creators were accepted as vendors this year as a result of the virtual setting.

A zine is a smaller version of a magazine and contains short stories, articles and art pieces. They are normally the size of a small booklet and can be easily designed and printed at home. Most zines are sold for under $10 or given out for free.

Every year the festival is completely run by volunteers. A flurry of zine crafting workshops are a big draw for the festival. This year the zine festival is hosting a new workshop each day. There are also poetry readings and creator interviews, allowing attendees to learn more about each vendor.

Heather Lou, a Minneapolis multimedia artist, is the TCZF 2020 poster artist. “I can’t for myself afford to publish a book, but I can afford to make a small booklet of my poetry,” Lou said. “I’ve gotten more and more of my friends involved in zines, specifically folks who are Black and Indigenous and people of color.”

Inclusivity is an overarching theme of the zine scene, including the ability for zines to be used as tools of education. “I’m an artist but also an educator — telling stories about my everyday experiences in hopes that people might relate to them,” said Lou.

Violet Fox has been one of the TCZF organizers since 2017. Falk said TCZF is all about inclusivity as well as great zines. The fest recently created a Safer Spaces Policy to prohibit all forms of discrimination. “We make sure that people who are BIPOC or queer identities get pushed to the top of our application list so that we can highlight those voices,” she said.

Low Kling, creator of YOLOW Zines and Pickle Witch Zines, is a part of this year’s Zine Fest and regularly collaborates with Lou. Kling went to their first zine fest 10 years ago. “I was overwhelmed with the quality of the zines that people were producing that you could pick up for like $5 or $6,” they said.

Hannah Dove, a fourth-year student studying English, lived in Chicago until moving to Minneapolis where she found herself immediately drawn to the community surrounding zines, something she says she did not grow up with in Chicago.

“I like it because it allows me to have a creative outlet, and it also allows me to teach people about stuff that they didn’t know of prior. I don’t want to be like, ‘I’m smarter than you’ — I just have hyper fixations that no one knows about,” Dove said.

For Dove, the best part about a zine is the accessibility. A zine can be typed out, written up, printed and folded all within a day.

“I like the idea that anyone can make a zine. It’s like ‘Ratatouille’: ‘Anyone can cook.’”

An orchestra hums as an electric keyboard plays over dreamy and vulnerable lyrics — a Sufjan Stevens specialty. His eighth studio album, “The Ascension,” arrived on September 25.

Accurate representations of queer identities are hard to find in modern films. But two Minneapolis artists are setting out to flip the script about queer idenities with a weekend-long queer film festival.

“Flip the Script Fest,” a two-day virtual film festival, is coming this weekend, Oct. 2 and 3. The festival will flip Hollywood’s stereotypical queer narratives 180 degrees with 28 short and feature-length films with multi-faceted, queer representation.

“An ode to the name of the festival, ‘Flip the Script’ — it’s very important for us to take the people on the bottom and put them on the top as far as the spotlight goes,” said Victoria Carpenter, a co-creator of the festival.

She and Mara Emmons, both local artists, are responsible for the festival’s creation. They originally met three years ago at the Minneapolis International Film Festival and quickly became friends, bonding over their mutual aspirations for hosting a film festival that steered far from the heterosexual focus of mainstream media. They initially planned to hold the festival at Minneapolis’ St. Anthony Main Theatre. Funding for the festival came from the Minnesota Metropolitan Regional Arts Council and the organization Springboard for the Arts.

“We’re very queer and we really want queer films, but we kept finding like nothing or a stereotype,” Emmons said. “Especially in the film fest genre, there’s a lot of tragedy — or there’s a queer side character.”

The creators aim to especially focus the festival on transgender and non-white characters.

“You feel there is a gap, and you can see there is a gap; but once you start quantifying it, it’s pretty wild. For instance, a GLAAD’s studio responsibility report from 2019 said that in [2018], out of 110 major studio films created only 20 of them have any LGBTQ characters in them,” Carpenter said. “You can assume they were not main characters.”

In an effort to include different perspectives into the festival’s planning, the creators developed an advisory committee. The committee helped with research and decided what necessary aspects and identities the festival should showcase. Members of the committee were acquaintances and friends of the creators with experience in the film industry.

“The emphasis on looking at the full spectrum of diversity in the LGBTQ community is … exactly what I needed to hear out of a film festival,” said Denzel Belin, a Minneapolis-based film director and member of the festival’s advisory committee.

Originally, Belin didn’t think he would be able to attend the festival because he worked weekends. But since the festival is a livestream, Belin and many others now have the opportunity to attend.

Both individual movie tickets and all-access weekend pass tickets are available. Donations are also accepted, and film-lovers can pay it forward to help buy others tickets. The creators want to make the film festival fully inclusive for everyone who wants to attend, so they’ve decided to allow attendees the option of emailing them for a free ticket.

Almost all of the films are available to stream from anywhere in the world, except for the feature-length film “Venus,” which is only streamable in Minnesota.

While putting this first festival together is a dream come true, according to Emmons, this festival might only be the beginning.

“The dream of dreams was to make these types of festivals that were for many different marginalized communities and identities — to be able to have the resources to hire and help make other festivals for other marginalized identities.”

Local rocker Sean Tillman, a.k.a Har Mar Superstar, and his fiancee Laura Hauser, saw the financial wreckage that the coronavirus caused within the Minneapolis music scene. All future shows and tours had been canceled. Musicians were out of work.

Tillman and Hauser decided to take action, and in May they bought a large printer and created the organization Coloring Books for a Cause.

Coloring Books for a Cause’s mission is to provide financial support to local musicians and businesses affected by COVID-19. Within the last few months, the organization put together two books for First Avenue, and one for Harold’s on Main, Grumpy’s and Palmer’s and the nonprofit Violence Free MN, respectively. Each book features work from different local illustrators.

Their first release was a coloring book dedicated to First Avenue’s impact on the local music scene. The illustrations focused on artists like Dizzy Fae, Gully Boys and Trampled by Turtles. The initial round of First Avenue coloring books raised $25K. That money went to the Twin Cities Music Community Trust, which then distributed the funds to artists.

“Sean is a local musician, so I think he was thinking about helping people he knows in his immediate life,” said Michael Gaughan, an illustrator who contributed to both First Avenue books and the book for Violence Free MN.

Hauser, prior to Coloring Books for a Cause, drew up illustrations of local musicians who were affected by COVID-19. Fans would send her receipts of their donations to an artist and she would send them an illustration as a thank you. Her work on designing these illustrations would later spark the idea for the First Avenue coloring book.

“We were talking about how the thank you cards did so well and we were like, ‘What if we use that and make a coloring book, because people are going to be at home and they are going to want to support musicians who are out of work,’” Hauser said.

Tillman was on tour with his band Heart Bones when the coronavirus struck the U.S. The band’s poster illustrator, Alexis Politz, would soon no longer be creating Tillman’s posters, so he asked her to be the logo illustrator for the Coloring Books for a Cause.

“He asked me if I wanted to make a super fun, little kid-type, logo,” Politz said. The logo is a black circle with a yellow heart in the center and two blue colored hands locked together inside the heart.

Stacey Combs, a friend of Tillman and Hauser’s, became one of the illustrators for the First Avenue coloring books. “When our first book came out we worked on it for maybe six days from start to finish — the ideation and making all the illustrations. It was pretty wild,” said Combs. In only two days, they had sold over 500 copies.

“We kept having people reach out to us asking ‘Would you do a coloring book for our business because we saw what it did for First Ave,’” Hauser said. That’s how the Grumpy’s and Palmer’s book was created, which sold around 1,000 copies.

According to Hauser, after seeing the positive reaction to the first round of books, the group holds aspirations to continue the legacy of Coloring Books for a Cause, but have yet to solidify the details.

“The community, musician and artist energy really kept us rolling and kept us excited.”
