Overview

The Rebel Loon Archive is a large hardcover art book with approximately 200 pages of paintings, poetry, photography, textiles and more speaking out against the 2026 ICE occupation of Minnesota. 

The physical book measures 8.5x11” with a velvety soft-touch hardcover, and thick satin-finish paper lets the artwork shine. 

In January 2026, the Rebel Loon Archive began as an informal collection of art responding to Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota.

This book was originally intended to be a short booklet of poetry and art, sold locally to encourage those directly affected by ICE’s actions, with any profits going to mutual aid.

What started as a casual call to local artists quickly expanded. From across the United States and around the world, more than 400 artists so far have chosen to contribute their work to the Archive. The art in this book is a curated selection from more than a thousand artworks entrusted to the Rebel Loon Archive’s collection.

No collection of art can fully represent what it meant—and means—to live through these events. This book is and will always be incomplete. But the Rebel Loon Archive brings together the voices of children, local artists, international contributors, Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonists, and artists sharing their art for the first time.
