FRIDAY
Racket’s Book Release and 5th Anniversary Party
Are you a fan or Racket, anniversaries, book releases, or the number 5? Well, Friday is your lucky day, because you’ll be able to celebrate all four of those things at Arbeiter. Please come up and introduce yourself to us. We might be a little dehydrated, sunburnt, and sleepy—this is one day after our new fair food marathon—but we’re always happy to meet the folks who make our little endeavor possible. And since we had to do something special to celebrate year five, we’ll have copies of our very first print publication for sale. It’s a collection of eight of our favorite Racket stories from the first five years, with a gorgeous layout and design from our friends at Smart Set. Can’t make the event? Well, we’ll miss you, of course, but you can still pick up the book if you act fast: Any remaining copies will be available at Moon Palace Books starting Saturday. Free. 5–9 p.m. Arbeiter Brewing Company, 3038 Minnehaha Ave., Minneapolis; find more info here.—Keith Harris

Community Appreciation Day
Our love of Albi Kitchen is well-documented. Fardowsa Ali’s newish Loring Park restaurant has some of my favorite sambusas in the city, and the adorably decorated space is the perfect place to settle in with your laptop or enjoy sugary Somali Qahwa with a friend. The first year for a new restaurant is never easy, and, because right-wing chuds have no taste and no tact, Albi Kitchen became the target of a harassment campaign during Operation Metro Surge. We’re happy to report that the colorful cafe is still here months later, ready to celebrate its first anniversary with live music, vendors, and of course, excellent food. They’re calling it “community appreciation day,” but we appreciate Albi Kitchen right back. Free. 3–6 p.m. Albi Kitchen, 1411 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis; find more info here.—Em Cassel

“The Radical Act of Having Each Other’s Back”
If there’s any lesson on resistance to be taken from Minnesota’s response to January’s hostile ICE takeover, it’s that we look out for and take care of our neighbors. For this group show, 26 Minnesota artists—Adam Turman, Biafra, Bump Opera, Harriet Bart, Jennifer Davis, Kao Lee Thao, Piotr Szyhalski, Wes Winship, and others—will reflect on the acts of kindness that held our communities together to the point of creating a movement. At the center of the exhibition is Iced Out Guernica, a huge 21’x7’ aerosol and acrylic painting created by Rock CYFI Martinez, EWOK, Hottea, and Shock, inspired by Picasso’s anti-war masterpiece. "Standing before Picasso's Guernica, I understood that bearing witness cannot be passive," says Martinez. "Art can preserve what official accounts overlook or attempt to erase.” Half of the proceeds from sales will benefit recovery efforts in the community. This show opened on Thursday, and it available to view daily through Sep. 20. 2014 Central Ave. NE, Minneapolis; find more info here.—Jessica Armbruster
