From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above.Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Alight-a-WhirlIt's Art-a-Whirl weekend! The Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association (NEMAA) puts on the annual celebration of all things local art, with three days of open studios, live events, music and food vendors. Hours are Friday 5-8 p.m., Saturday 12–8 p.m. and Sunday 12–5 p.m.It's a favorite event for Molly Reopelle, a muralist who works under the name “Made by Molly Jo.” One space she's particularly looking forward to seeing is Alight-a-Whirl, an annual art sale fundraiser for Alight. The nonprofit supports displaced people and refugees in the U.S. and across the world.Alight-a-Whirl features a 500-piece art sale with work by local, international and refugee artists, as well as pop-up events, including a Friday happy hour and portrait painting. All profits from the art sale support Alight.Molly says: One of the people I'll be looking at [at Alight-a-Whirl] is Lora Hlavsa. She might be recognizable because she developed the artwork with NEMAA for the Art-a-Whirl branding this year, and she's got a really cool new series called The People's Pantry, which is using really familiar objects like foods and pantry staples to explore some of her lived experience and then reflect on migration and cultural access.— Molly ReopelleGender Joy Art ShowJenn Watters in Duluth recommends seeing the annual Gender Joy Art Show, whose creative works are expressions of joy made by female and gender expansive people of all ages. The exhibit is put on this year by the YWCA of Duluth and the Program for Aid to Victims of Sexual Assault (PAVSA), and the show will include work created by PAVSA's weekly art group. New this year is an interactive art exhibit entitled “The Elephant in the Room,” hosted by Rachel Gilbertson of Art of Presence. Visitors to the exhibit are encouraged to write words or phrases they've received that were harmful to their gender identity, which Gilbertson will transform into a brightly colored work with an elephant's face emerging from the chaos. The exhibition runs until June 27 in the Atrium of Zeitgeist in Duluth.Watters who particularly enjoys seeing the work created by children.Jenn says: This is one of my favorite art shows each year.— Jenn WattersOne Subject PressDeborah Keenan, a Twin Cities poet and former longtime teacher at Hamline's MFA program, is trumpeting the work of former student Zach Czaia, who runs One Subject Press. A year ago, Czaia bought a Chicago-based press and moved it to Minneapolis, through which he publishes a wide range of work from poetry to fiction to theology. On Friday, May 15, the press will celebrate its one-year anniversary with an evening of literary readings and food. Czaia will read, along with poets Greg Watson and Suzanne Swanson, and attendees are invited to bring a poem to share. The event runs from 6-8 p.m. at Inkwell Booksellers in northeast Minneapolis. It is open to the public, though registration is requested through the press.Deborah says: It's called One Subject Press after a Richard Rodriguez quote: “There is only one subject: what it feels like to be alive. Nothing is irrelevant. Nothing is typical.” That's the flag Zach carries into battle, and it's a great flag.I think lots of people who love poetry and essays should absolutely show up [to this event.]— Deborah Keenan

ESG Decoded is a podcast powered by ClimeCo to share updates related to business innovation and sustainability in a clear and actionable manner. Welcome back to our ESG Paradigm Shift Series, where we examine different angles of the ESG phenomenon and its broader implications for finance and prosperity. In this episode, Kaitlyn Allen talks with Greg Watson, Founder of Partnership Capital. Greg worked in investment management and corporate finance for various leading City of London firms before joining Monitor Company, where he was a partner and helped establish a strategic transaction advisory affiliate. Greg then started a consulting firm and, in parallel, helped manage the start-up of an interdisciplinary social science academic funding foundation. Over the last few years, he has been conducting an innovation investment experiment to test the importance of partnering and active stewardship for deep-tech innovation. He recently published an article on the social convention foundations of finance, “No Single Right Way,” which has sparked interest and debate. Listen as Kaitlyn and Greg discuss refreshing new ways to think about ESG. A new mindset is emerging, challenging how we currently approach ESG topics. Greg explains that this evolution is right on time, as it has been 20+ years since the initial correlation between investment returns and sustainability. We are reminded that ESG means different things to the various stakeholders, which continues to fuel debates in the sustainability community, especially at the intersection of ESG-Finance-Investing. We hope this episode will inspire some healthy conversations with your ESG networks. Enjoy!

Cuba developed, out of necessity, the most organic, sustainable agricultural system of any country. Is that model replicable in other parts of the world, or is it now likely to be overrun by industrial farming as ironically the easing of tensions with the U.S. opens the island up to the influx of capital and multinational corporate plutocrats? What can we learn from Cuba's food system, and what are the risks to Cuban food security and sovereignty as its economic isolation ends?

John and Nancy Todd and a group of scientist friends established the New Alchemy Institute on a twelve-acre site in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Greg Watson joined the staff in 1980. He was inspired to apply New Alchemy's strategies and solutions to urban areas. He and John Todd have remained life-long friends making it a point to lunch together each week whenever possible.New Alchemy influenced a generation who “moved back to the land” with the vision of living more sustainably. Organic gardening, aquaculture, bioshelters, plant-filtered waste-water treatment, compost toilets, renewable energy systems were all modeled, and the designs shared, by New Alchemy. Fritz Schumacher and Buckminster Fuller were among those who made pilgrimages to witness and support the work done there.Both Todd and Watson moved on to other projects, but the principles and systems thinking described in New Alchemy's mission statement continue to direct their work as it evolves to solve emerging problems of the day.Greg Watson is Director of Policy and Systems Design at the Schumacher Center for a New Economics. His work currently focuses on community food systems and the dynamics between local and geo-economic systems.Watson has spent nearly 40 years learning to understand systems thinking as inspired by Buckminster Fuller and to apply that understanding to achieve a just and sustainable world.John Todd has been a pioneer in the field of ecological design and engineering for nearly five decades. He is the founder and president of John Todd Ecological Design. Dr. Todd has degrees in agriculture, parasitology and tropical medicine from McGill University, Montreal, and a doctorate in fisheries and ethology from the University of Michigan. He is professor emeritus and distinguished lecturer at University of Vermont's Rubenstein School and a fellow of the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at UVM. He is also the founder and president of Ocean Arks International, a non-profit research and education organization; and co-founder of New Alchemy Institute, a research center that has done pioneering investigation into organic agriculture, aquaculture and bioshelters. He has been an assistant scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and assistant professor at San Diego State University.
