Minnesota Humanities Center We Are Water MN
We Are Water MN is a traveling exhibition and community engagement initiative that emerged from the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum on Main Street project. Continued by MHC and several state partners, six greater Minnesota communities (Spicer, St. Peter, Red Wing, Sandstone, Lanesboro, and Detroit Lakes) hosted the exhibit in 2016-2017, and eight communities hosted the exhibit in 2018-2019 (Saint Paul, Bemidji, Crookston, Cloquet, Austin, Northfield, Grand Rapids, and Onamia). Through this initiative, the public explores the meaning of water as part of theirs and others’ identities, histories, heritages, and cultures. In 2020, the exhibit was hosted in St. Paul, Mankato, and Morris, and is scheduled to be hosted in Rochester, Chisolm, and Pipestone in 2021.
