This will be the first performance by the museum's dance group residency program. There are two upcoming performances: at the Paramount Center for the Arts in St. Cloud, Tuesday, May 13, at 6 p.m., and at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis next Sunday, May 18, at 7:30 p.m.Sabrin reflects on the themes of the show: The storyline is “when a beloved leader falls, who carries the crown?” and I think the question they're asking is a big question for Gen Z and also the Somali millennials who have grown up in the wake of the war, right? I'm 25 years old. For people like me, we've never known a peaceful Somalia. We've had a lot of our elders looking down to us and being like, “This is your history. This is what we used to be like. Now, what are you gonna do?” They've put a lot of responsibility on our shoulders, and a lot of us are ready to take it on, but it's like, what kind of future do we envision for ourselves? How do we carry that responsibility? How do we wear that crown?— Sabrin NurBooks meet architecture meet sculpturePeggy Korsmo-Kennon of Eagan, a former museum and arts administrator, recommends that people see “Building/Books | Karen Wirth: A Retrospective Exhibition” at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts Main Gallery in Minneapolis. The exhibition spans 40 years of Wirth's work, and the pieces spread through the space include architecture, photography, sculpture, books, and the spaces where these disciplines meet. The exhibition is on view through June 8.The exhibition also marks the 25th anniversary of the Open Book Building and the 40th anniversary of the Minnesota Center for Book Arts.Peggy says: Karen has an extraordinary ability to think spatially and structurally, creating work with both conceptual depth and visually engaging images. Her projects range from small handheld artist books to major public artworks. Her art is playful, both thought-provoking, blends clever wordplay with striking visuals. You'll see this in her handwritten text that spirals through the Gale See staircase and in the whimsical assemblages of the Grammar of Architecture. Upstairs there are more works: my favorite are her “Follies.” She takes books and found architectural objects and put them together in a really interesting way.— Peggy Korsmo-KennonPhoto exhibit asks us not to look away from homelessnessGabriel Brito of Minneapolis is a graduating senior at the University of Minnesota and an Arts and Entertainment reporter for the Minnesota Daily. He wants people to know about “No More Turning Away,” a photography exhibit about homelessness in the Twin Cities by photographer David Fallon. The exhibit is on view at the Kenwood Burroughs Gallery in Minneapolis through May 31.This exhibit is a fundraiser for People Incorporated, a nonprofit mental health provider that also serves people experiencing homelessness.Gabriel says: [David] spent months in the Twin Cities, photographing homelessness in a very raw, real, captivating way. His photographs are raw, unflinching depictions of life on the street meant to challenge our society's tendency to look away from homelessness.— Gabriel Brito

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.Hankering for a crankeringNorah Rendell is the executive artistic director of the Center for Irish Music in St. Paul. She saw — and loved — the original storytelling musical “The Well Tree” by the Heartwood Trio last spring.  The trio consists of Sarina Partridge of Minneapolis, Heidi Wilson of Vermont and Willie Clemetson of Maine. They're back for performances of “The Well Tree” tonight at 7 p.m. at the Twin Cities Friends Meeting House in St. Paul and Friday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. at New City Center/Walker Church in Minneapolis. Norah says she imagines the acoustics of the church venues will be well-suited for a show with beautiful harmonies. Norah says: It's an original singing story performance that includes songs and instruments and acting and illuminated paper cut art called a “crankie” [so named because a person turns a crank to scroll to new images]. It tells a story of a young woman who finds herself running away from home, and along her journey, she meets songbirds and snails and ancient trees as she finds her way home. And the three artists who perform are super talented. They're beautiful harmony singers. There's a fiddle player, a banjo player and they're all actors and they invite the audience to sing along.  It seems like it would be geared towards children, but it really suits anybody of any age who loves the experience of singing together with other people. You leave the show feeling great; it's very inspiring, very positive. The show itself is really inspiring.— Norah RendellThe male gazeErin Maurelli is an artist and educator in the Twin Cities. She wants people to know about the MCBA / Jerome Book Arts Residency show which is up now at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, inside Open Book in Minneapolis. Free and open to the public, this show displays the work of the three winners of the Jerome Book Arts Residency: photographer Christopher Selleck; papermaker Jelani Ellis; and artist and printmaker Louise Fisher.  Erin says: Christopher Selleck is a photographer who takes on the body, the figure and what we think of as idealism, and through the lens of the camera, he's able to capture kind of the ideal masculine body — which, in my experience, we don't see a lot of that in art and art history. Christopher brings issues of identity and sexuality into his work as a gay man, I think the male gaze becomes part of his narrative. Christopher was selected to be part of the Jerome book arts fellowship, and the show is through January 4 of next year. He's one of three artists that are part of that show, there are some hand-crafted books featuring his photographs as well as sculptural elements. He's exploring bringing the photographic process into bookmaking.  — Erin MorelliBaroque in GaylordCharles Luedtke is a retired professor of music at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, and he is heading to Gaylord tonight to see La Grande Bande. The group specializes in performing music written from 1600-1800, using instruments of the period. Their November concert celebrates the 340th birthday of Handel with two of his works set near water, his famed “Water Music Suites” as well as his cantata “O come chiare e belle.”  Handel's "Water Musicks" is tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Gaylord. Michael Thomas Asmus, the founder and artistic director, will give a talk before the performance at 6:45 about the music. Charles says: It's rather spectacular because he lives in Gaylord, just outside of Gaylord and his music performances have been kind of centered around that area, sometimes in St. Peter, sometimes in New Ulm. So, it's kind of local, but [it's] tremendous quality. They're not amateurs, never amateurs. They are all really professional performers and on period instruments — baroque instruments.— Charles Luedtke

An unexpectedly cheerful followup to “JD Vance Taps into Parental Rage.” The alt titles today could be: “Tim Walz Taps into Parental Goals,” or “Disarming the Disinfo of the Right is Great, But Have You Tried Dad Jokes?”  Across social media, liberal millennial women are tagging Tim Walz as the return of the dad they lost to Fox News. Matthew digs into that graveyard with a survey of the tools that we've used to examine the nature and function of patriarchal bullshit as it dominates conspirituality, cults, and QAnon. The result is a stroll through a Madame Tussaud's display of fragile and toxic influencer fathers, from Jordan Peterson to Jim Watkins to RFK Jr to Donald Trump.  Tim Walz not only doesn't do any of the things these guys do—he might be rooting around in his special tool drawer now to find just the thing it'll take to fix what they've done. Note: this is not a blind love-fest or blanket endorsement of as-yet vague policies. But there is something powerful going on with Walz's new-old modeling of Big Dad Energy.  Show Notes A Balanced Assessment of Tim Walz's Record from the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy | lvgaldieri  Tim Walz's green resume has an oily stain  Minnesota activists criticize Tim Walz for refusing to meet with Palestinians – Mondoweiss  Donald Trump Likens His Schooling to Military Service in Book - The New York Times  Tim Walz was my teacher in high school.

Afgestaan, afl. 14: Peter& ErikPeter: Onze biologische moeder wilde ten eerste ons eigenlijk niet afstaan en ten tweede wilde ze ook niet dat we uit elkaar werden gehaald.Erik: Mijn ouders zagen ons tweeën liggen en zeiden: ”Dat zijn leuke jongens!” En ze wilden ons allebei, maar daar staken ze een stokje voor, iemand zei: ”Dat gaat niet gebeuren, u moet kiezen.”Erik & Peter: Ik heb gevoel dat er ons iets af is genomen… de eerste zeventien jaar van ons leven is ons wel afgenomen samen.Ja, als je ziet hoe we de laatste 35 jaar, hoe we met elkaar omgaan, dan kun je wel stellen van dat dat de eerste zeventien jaar ons wel zeker, zoals mijn broer zegt, is afgestolen ja.De volwassen, maar ongetrouwde moeder van Peter en Erik raakte ongepland zwanger. Dat was een grote schande voor haar ouders. Zij hielden haar, en de zwangerschap, verborgen. Pas tijdens de bevalling bleek dat er twee baby's waren, een eeneiige tweeling. Tegen de wil van hun moeder werden Peter en Erik uit elkaar gehaald en allebei in een eigen adoptiegezin geplaatst.Peter en Erik zoeken nog steeds naar de reden van hun scheiding. Alhoewel beide jongens prima terecht kwamen was de schok toch groot toen ze, bij toeval, op 17-jarige leeftijd ontdekten dat ze deel waren van een eeneiige tweeling. Het duurde jaren voordat ze echt iets voelde bij het woord broer. Waarom waren ze gescheiden, was het een experiment? Of was de vraag naar adoptiekinderen eind jaren zestig zo groot dat men twee families blij wilde maken?Een eeneiige tweeling die gescheiden opgroeit is interessant voor de wetenschap. Zo kwamen de broers in de Verenigde Staten terecht waar ze meededen aan het onderzoek van Thomas Bouchard, The Minnesota Study of Twins reared apart.De aflevering van Peter en Erik gaat over samen zijn, gescheiden worden en elkaar weer vinden. Wat heeft dat voor gevolgen voor de twee Groningse broers die bij hun hereniging heel nuchter 'moi' tegen elkaar zeiden en sindsdien willen weten waarom ze niet samen konden opgroeien.Shownotes:In een deel van de 20ste eeuw was het Toevluchtsoord een tehuis voor zwangere vrouwen, veelal ongehuwd, en hun kind. Met name voor vrouwen uit de regio Groningen en Friesland. Na de bevalling kwamen de moeders terug met hun baby of kwamen alleen de baby's terug als de moeder afstand had gedaan. De moeder vertrok dan naar elders.https://fiom.nl/zoeken-familie/toevluchtsoordEen eeneiige (monozygote) tweeling ontstaat doordat er niet, zoals normaal gesproken, een enkel embryo ontstaat uit celdelingen van de bevruchte eicel, maar bij een van de eerste delingen twee losse groepjes cellen ontstaan die ieder uitgroeien tot een apart embryo. In Nederland komt dit in ongeveer 1 op 250 zwangerschappen voor.https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eeneiige_tweelingThomas J. Bouchard Jr. (geboren op 3 oktober 1937) is een Amerikaanse psycholoog die bekend staat om zijn gedragsgenetische studies van tweelingen die uit elkaar zijn grootgebracht. Hij is emeritus hoogleraar psychologie en directeur van het Minnesota Center for Twin and Adoption Research aan de Universiteit van Minnesota.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J._Bouchard_Jr.De Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart was een tweelingonderzoek uitgevoerd aan de Universiteit van Minnesota, onafhankelijk van het Minnesota Center for Twin and Family Research. In 1979 begon Thomas J. Bouchard tweelingen te bestuderen die bij de geboorte gescheiden waren en in verschillende gezinnen waren grootgebracht. Hij ontdekte dat een identieke tweeling die niet met zijn of haar tweelingbroer is grootgebracht ongeveer evenveel kans lijkt te hebben om op de tweelingbroer te lijken in termen van persoonlijkheid, interesses en houdingen als iemand die met zijn of haar medetweeling is grootgebracht."Er zijn waarschijnlijk genetische invloeden op bijna alle facetten van menselijk gedrag, maar de nadruk op de idiosyncratische kenmerken is misleidend. Gemiddeld zijn identieke tweelingen die afzonderlijk zijn grootgebracht voor ongeveer 50 procent vergelijkbaar - en dat ondermijnt het wijdverbreide geloof dat identieke tweelingen kopieën zijn." Dat is duidelijk niet het geval. Iedereen is op zichzelf een uniek individu.'https://www.researchgate.net/publication/20936587_Sources_of_Human_Psychological_Differences_The_Minnesota_Study_of_Twins_Reared_ApartSt. Verleden in Zicht voor Nederlandse afstandskinderen en binnenlands geadopteerden.  https://verledeninzicht.nl/Email: info@verledeninzicht.nlInterviews: Georgia Gradenwitz- Kemp en Carine DorgeloAudio nabewerking: Konstantin Johannes van The Sound RepublicEindredactie en montage: Carine Dorgelo© 2023- 2024 Carine Dorgelo& Georgia Gradenwitz- Kemp

Chronic wasting disease is a fatal neurological disorder that affects deer, elk, and other big game animals. It has growing implications for wildlife and the people across the country who manage them. In Minnesota, tribes are teaming up with wildlife officials and researchers in a unique collaboration aimed at reducing the spread of the disease on and near tribal lands. GUESTS Souta Calling Last (Blackfeet and Blood Tribe), founder and director of Indigenous Vision Jesse DesRosier (Blackfeet), hunter and language teacher Doug McArthur, wildlife manager at the White Earth Reservation Marc Schwabenlander, associate director for the Minnesota Center for Prion Research and Outreach

When Lillian Hang's parents immigrated to the United States from Laos in the late 1970s, they were already experienced farmers.  “It was one skill that they had coming to a ‘foreign land,' where they didn't know the language, they didn't know the culture, they didn't know the system,” she said. “It was the one thing mom and dad could do to provide for themselves.”Lillian Hang's family started out with backyard plantings of squash, green beans and corn. Then they expanded into growing in plots in the exurbs south of the Twin Cities and selling produce at the St. Paul Farmers' Market. They didn't earn a lot, but it was enough to pay for clothes or school books. But access to the land was precarious. They never knew if the landowner would renew the lease or sell the land to someone else.  From North Star Journey Live Growing diversity: The changing face of Minnesota farming “There's always a 50/50 chance that come the springtime, the land may not be there anymore,” Lillian Hang said. That uncertainty disappeared when the Hmong American Farmers Association closed on farmland just south of the Twin Cities in Dakota County last year. The more than 150 acres are home base for the organization and 20 families of Hmong farmers, providing some elders who came to the United States as refugees decades ago with the opportunity to plant seeds and literally put down roots on land they own.   ‘We can save ourselves'Land access has been an ongoing issue for farmers, especially those from diverse backgrounds, according to Robin Moore of the Land Stewardship Project, which advocates for sustainable agriculture. As it became harder for smaller farms to compete, surviving farms gobbled up their neighbors, leading to both land and wealth consolidation — mostly by white farmers.  “The face of farming has been primarily white, the idea of farmers has been primarily white, even though that's absolutely not true,” Moore said. “In the larger scale of things, it's just been financially less and less feasible to be a farmer of any kind, let alone a smaller scale farmer.”Hmong farmers in the last three decades have become an important part of the local food system in the state. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture found that about half the vendors at Twin Cities farmers' markets are of Hmong descent. But the principal operators of Minnesota farms are about 99 percent white.That's where the Hmong American Farmers Association (HAFA) came in. Co-founder and executive director Janssen Hang, Lillian's brother, said the initiative for the group was sparked at a meeting of non-profits and farmers more than a decade ago. “One farmer stood up and said, we need to stop waiting for people to save us and we can save ourselves,” Janssen Hang said. “That really led to the inception of HAFA.” HAFA formed in 2011 as a collection of Hmong farmers, most of whom sold at farmers markets. They noticed Hmong farmers were often at a disadvantage when dealing with agencies like the U.S. Department of Agriculture, banks or even local landowners, who would often hike up the rents for Hmong farmers. Janssen Hang said it was clear that farmers needed to band together.  “We know that you can't just stress land and have produce to grow but not have a market,” he said. “You can't just focus on land and market but not have access to credit and capital so that you can improve your farm operation. It's that whole cycle that needs to be addressed simultaneously.” Other efforts are being made to help diversify farming in the state, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture has a new Office of Emerging Farmers, which is tasked with helping farmers who have traditionally faced barriers in farming. The office got a $1.5 million boost in the last legislative session and took applications for hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants for farmers to get technical help or subsidies for crop insurance. “As commissioner, I saw the opportunity to open our programs to all farmers who maybe don't look like me, because I think we have a real thriving and changing demographic in Minnesota,” Commissioner Thom Petersen said. “Our Latino population is growing, our Somali population, our Hmong population and that provides a lot of opportunities, very agrarian in nature because, ultimately, one of my goals is to always have more farmers.”  HAFA has worked closely with partners, including the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. Petersen said their project is a great example of the success that farmers with diverse approaches can have. “I do this too when I see a farmer, ‘Oh how big is your farm? How many cows do you have? How many acres do you have?'” Petersen said. “That's not always representative of what's done there — it's amazing the volume that farmers can grow on small acreages.” Working the farmIn 2014, an anonymous benefactor with a ten-year lease on the farmland offered it to HAFA. The farmers in HAFA each claimed plots of five or ten acres, and staff started working to set up the day-to-day operations of the farm, with an eye towards the ultimate goal of buying the land. If you drive south from the Twin Cities, the geography of big box stores and fast-food chains gives way to field after field of commodity crops like corn. But on Highway 52, in the township of Vermillion, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it break in the scenery as little red sheds dot the landscape, and farmers on foot go about their daily tasks. Walking into the plots, you'll see flowers for cut bouquets, high tunnels with rows of trellised heirloom tomatoes and even more obscure fruits like ground cherries, with the fruit tucked away in papery husks.Janssen Hang said the 10 HAFA staffers see their job as supporting the about 100 farmers who work on site. They help with everything from organizing agricultural trainings to providing a pool of shared equipment like potato planters and eco weeders. HAFA staff even demonstrate new farming techniques for sometimes skeptical farmers, including an analysis of costs associated with growing heirloom tomatoes in a high tunnel. Farmers were wary of spending $10,000 just to buy each tunnel, but Janssen Hang said they set up a tunnel and showed farmers that one season could bring in enough extra produce to pay for the costs of the tunnels plus some.  “The whole cooperative model is to help reduce the risk to farmers,” Janssen Hang said.  HAFA also helps farmers connect with new markets, including through a Community Sustained Agriculture program they run, test the soil and provide areas to wash and clean produce up to the required standards.The goal, Janssen Hang said, is to give these small farmers the support and resources they need to make a go of it in a state where the average farm size is more than 370 acres, according to the most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture numbers. They focus on mixed-vegetable production, most of which is done by hand, because they want to farm more sustainably than big farmers, who plant just one or two crops. Farmers at HAFA now grow about 160 varieties of crops on the land.  “You have fruits, you have vegetables, you have corn, you have beans, you have flowers,” Janssen Hang said. “It's about that biodiversity, so what we're trying to create here is an agro-ecological environment.”Moore of the Land Stewardship Project said groups like HAFA, and Hmong farmers in general, have been at the forefront of showing that more diverse farming, which supports pollinators and even native plants, can be successful.  In 2020, after working with allies at the State Capitol, HAFA was allotted $2 million to help the organization buy the land. They closed on the deal last September, which Janssen Hang said was a historic moment for “all immigrant and minorities across the United States to have the very first Hmong-owned nonprofit, collective farm.” The HAFA farm wasn't always an easy fit in mostly white Dakota County. Early on, HAFA farmers had a fence they built cut through during the night. Someone else painted swastikas on their garage. Some township officials seemed to show special interest in any perceived infractions by the farmers, although Janssen Hang said the “intensity” of their attention has diminished over the years. “They are supportive about the preservation of agriculture. Would I say that they have been very supportive from the very beginning?” he said. “No, they weren't.” After HAFA closed on the land, they found out that the Minnesota Department of Transportation decided to renovate the highway that bisects the HAFA land, eating into farmland and making it difficult for farmers to cross without a long detour or a sprint across the busy highway. They again took the issue to the Legislature, which allotted $2 million to the Minnesota Department of Transportation to build a box culvert that would allow farmers to safely cross or transport equipment like tractors. A spokesperson for the Minnesota Department of Transportation said they don't yet have a schedule for construction of the culvert, but look forward to working with HAFA on the details. Other plans to build an interchange that would have encroached on HAFA land was abandoned by Dakota County after opposition from HAFA and their allies, including the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy (MCEA), which described the highway expansion as an issue of environmental justice. “Communities of color have traditionally carried the burden of road construction,” said MCEA attorney Evan Mulholland. “A preliminary look at the history of the highway development in Minneapolis and St. Paul and most other cities in the country, it's really striking how that happened — and it's not stopping.” Growing community at the farmJanssen Hang said owning the farm has changed how the farmers thought about themselves. They could now plant more perennials. Work on the soil. Make plans for the future.  The first generation of farmers is in their mid-60s. Ten years ago, Janssen Hang said the older generation thought farmwork was too hard for their children raised and educated in the United States. But after they bought the land, that changed for some, who now saw a future for their children or grandchildren in farming. “To me at the end of the day, having this conversation, I was like wow. This is what wealth is,” Janssen Hang said. “This is what intergenerational wealth is.”As a child, Lillian Hang, Janssen's sister, detested farming. While most of her classmates enjoyed summer breaks from school, she and her siblings were expected to wake up early to help their parents plant, weed or sell produce at farmers markets.   “Ask any Hmong kid and, man, no one liked it,” she said. “Half the time you are kind of embarrassed that you had to do it.”But decades later, Lillian Hang said it's grown on her. She said it's a bit symbolic that people who came to the United States as landless refugees are now putting down roots on their own land. “The whole purpose of us working so hard and studying so hard is so that we wouldn't have to farm,” she said. “Then ten, twenty years later we realized the importance of farming, not just bringing the extra income for the family, but the community that's built at the farm, the intergenerational community with the grandparents and kids.”Lillian Hang's mother passed away last year. Now, Lillian Hang brings her own kids, 9 and 11, to help her father with the physical labor. She said they're master kale washers.“I noticed from the way he interacts with my kids that he's teaching more,” she said. “‘This is how you plant the garlic, this is the best way to bundle kale. So he's really teaching us and sharing that knowledge and making sure that that knowledge and those experiences continue beyond him.” Judy Yang has been with HAFA since the beginning and said through a translator that owning the land has changed her life. Yang's son now hopes to follow in her footsteps: “My plan is and their plan is, they will stay a long time.” Corrections: (Sept. 15, 2023): An earlier version of the story misspelled the last name of Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Thom Petersen and misidentified Highway 52 in a photo caption.

Dr. Raja David spent his infancy in a residential treatment center--seriously! Today we learn from Dr. David about Therapeutic Assessment or TA, which is totally different from the usual psychological testing and diagnosis methods you learn in graduate school (AKA Your IQ is X, your diagnosis is Y, and we recommend CBT; mk, thanks, bye.) TA offers a much appreciated humanistic, experiential perspective. It's a process for helping people figure out what's going on in their lives, and "hand[ing[ that info back to them in a digestible way", so that "insight is LIVED, not just cognitively grasped".It just so happens that this approach to evaluating humans is evidence-based, too. It's a win-win for everyone, really, and we hope you'll appreciate the shift in perspective, even if you're in a setting where committing to a full TA model is hard.Bio:Dr. Raja David is the founder and owner of the Minnesota Center for Collaborative/Therapeutic Assessment, where he conducts Therapeutic Assessments with adolescents and adults. He is a former assistant professor and has taught doctoral level courses and professional workshops, and co-wrote what is essentially the adult TA manual. He consults with others about TA and conducting psychological assessments, and is a member of the Therapeutic Assessment Institute board of directors.Honorable Mentions:Dr. David's private practice web site: https://www.mnccta.com/What is TA?
