Mu artists will reflect on past and current examples of Asian protagonists in mainstream media paired with live performances. Attendees will then participate in reflective breakout sessions discussing how stereotypes and misconceptions have affected their lives (personally and professionally). The event will conclude with a community conversation on how positive representation in Asian American narratives can lead to more empathy and inclusion in the fabric of America. \nLearn more about Theater Mu at theatermu.org. \nRegistration\nMembers of Minnesota’s Asian community are welcome to register using promo code HERO22 to waive the fee if they wish. \nTo ensure that cost is not a barrier\, we have a limited number of complimentary spaces available for all Minnesota residents.

In these workshops you’ll be putting pen to paper to record feelings\, memories\, traumas\, personal histories or whatever comes to mind in the moment. There is no such thing as correct or polished writing\, and no previous experience is necessary. We’ll help you keep the pen moving! \nAlong with writing\, the workshops will foster positive relationships between those impacted by war\, and develop a deeper understanding and reclaiming of our personal and generational histories. Although the workshops are not therapy\, many find this format to be cathartic and useful in the reintegration into society. Many also find the process insightful and validating as you can make sense out of your experience through writing it down. \nWe recommend participants attend all four sessions if possible. Refreshments will be provided for morning sessions; dinner will be provided for the evening session. \nWarrior Writers is a national non-profit whose mission is to create a culture that articulates veterans’ experiences\, build a collaborative community for artistic expression\, and bear witness to war and the full range of military experiences. \nSchedule\nSaturday\, June 4\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session One\nSaturday\, June 11\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session Two\nSaturday\, June 18\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session Three\nThursday\, June 23\, 2022 – 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. – Session Four \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED URL:https://www.mnhum.org/event/impact-of-war-writing-workshops/2022-06-04/ LOCATION:Minnesota Humanities Event Center\, 987 Ivy Avenue East\, Saint Paul\, MN\, 55106\, United States CATEGORIES:Books, Poetry, and Literature,Many Fronts,Refugees,Veterans ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.mnhum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/event_impact_war_warrior_writers.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Corey China":MAILTO:corey@mnhum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220608T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220608T190000 DTSTAMP:20260415T025501 CREATED:20220608T144823Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220928T191934Z UID:10000268-1654704000-1654714800@www.mnhum.org SUMMARY:St. Paul - The Art of Healing and Resilience Through Permaculture DESCRIPTION:*75 is the fee for all four sessions.

Minnesota Humanities Center is honored to collaborate with Sweet Potato Comfort Pie and community to bring the significance of this day to life. \nKumbayah The Juneteenth Story written by Rose McGee is a 90-minute fictitious\, two-act play that addresses a factual and traumatic time in our history – when news was deliberately withheld that Black people were no longer to be kept as slaves in this country. Storytelling and music weave together mesmerizing scenes. Although tragedy is depicted\, this play within a play is tremendously uplifting. The story begins with a Prologue set in the early 1800s in a small West African village where a young mother and her small son are being abducted from their home by slave catchers. Act One: Scene One is set in present time in a popular North Minneapolis soul-food restaurant where a group of youths and adults ultimately end up discussing what Juneteenth means. Before long they all agree to attend a play about Juneteenth. The story then shifts into 1863 on the Turner Plantation in Tyler\, Texas with the character Frederick Douglass as Narrator. \nAlthough interpretation is best suited for ages 8 and up\, children of all ages are welcome to attend. \nPerformances are free to attend\, but registration is required. \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED URL:https://www.mnhum.org/event/kumbayah-the-juneteenth-story-morning/ LOCATION:Breck School\, 123 Ottawa Avenue North\, Golden Valley\, MN\, 55422\, United States CATEGORIES:Free,Immersive Experiences,Juneteenth,Kid Friendly,Kumbayah,Professional Development,Public Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.mnhum.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/event_kumbayah_juneteenth.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Rose McGee":MAILTO:rose@mnhum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220617T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220617T210000 DTSTAMP:20260415T025501 CREATED:20220504T051118Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230712T140824Z UID:10000253-1655487000-1655499600@www.mnhum.org SUMMARY:Golden Valley – Kumbayah The Juneteenth Story (Reception and Evening Performance) DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, Juneteenth was written into law as a national day of observance\, yet many people are unfamiliar with its meaning and the insight it offers in addressing current social injustice.

In these workshops you’ll be putting pen to paper to record feelings\, memories\, traumas\, personal histories or whatever comes to mind in the moment. There is no such thing as correct or polished writing\, and no previous experience is necessary. We’ll help you keep the pen moving! \nAlong with writing\, the workshops will foster positive relationships between those impacted by war\, and develop a deeper understanding and reclaiming of our personal and generational histories. Although the workshops are not therapy\, many find this format to be cathartic and useful in the reintegration into society. Many also find the process insightful and validating as you can make sense out of your experience through writing it down. \nWe recommend participants attend all four sessions if possible. Refreshments will be provided for morning sessions; dinner will be provided for the evening session. \nWarrior Writers is a national non-profit whose mission is to create a culture that articulates veterans’ experiences\, build a collaborative community for artistic expression\, and bear witness to war and the full range of military experiences. \nSchedule\nSaturday\, June 4\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session One\nSaturday\, June 11\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session Two\nSaturday\, June 18\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session Three\nThursday\, June 23\, 2022 – 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. – Session Four \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED URL:https://www.mnhum.org/event/impact-of-war-writing-workshops/2022-06-18/ LOCATION:Minnesota Humanities Event Center\, 987 Ivy Avenue East\, Saint Paul\, MN\, 55106\, United States CATEGORIES:Books, Poetry, and Literature,Many Fronts,Refugees,Veterans ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.mnhum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/event_impact_war_warrior_writers.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Corey China":MAILTO:corey@mnhum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220621T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220621T203000 DTSTAMP:20260415T025501 CREATED:20220522T132533Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250620T131720Z UID:10000265-1655838000-1655843400@www.mnhum.org SUMMARY:St. Paul – Minnesota Writers Series: We Are Meant to Rise DESCRIPTION:Join the Minnesota Humanities Center (MHC) for readings and an interactive round table discussion around the book\, “We Are Meant to Rise: Voices for Justice from Minneapolis to the World\,” which was published by University of Minnesota Press with More Than a Single Story. \nThe book’s editors\, Carolyn Holbrook and David Mura\, will be joined by contributors Anika Fajardo\, Samantha Sencer-Mura\, Suleiman Adan\, and Tess Montgomery\, to discuss the heavy task of writing about the past few years as writers of color\, from COVID-19 and the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes to the community’s response to the murder of George Floyd. The panel\, which includes two sets of family members\, will also discuss how we talk about trauma and share stories generationally. Audience members will be invited to join in on the conversation at various points in the evening. \nThis event is part of the MHC’s new Minnesota Writers Series\, which amplifies recent publications from Minnesota authors\, and is being co-sponsored by Saint Paul Almanac. \nThis event is free but registration is required. \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED URL:https://www.mnhum.org/event/we-are-meant-to-rise/ LOCATION:Minnesota Humanities Event Center\, 987 Ivy Avenue East\, Saint Paul\, MN\, 55106\, United States CATEGORIES:Books, Poetry, and Literature,Free,Minnesota Writers Series,Public Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.mnhum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/event_we_are_meant_to_rise.png ORGANIZER;CN="Corey China":MAILTO:corey@mnhum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220623T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220623T200000 DTSTAMP:20260415T025501 CREATED:20220504T023044Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230606T171354Z UID:10000248-1656007200-1656014400@www.mnhum.org SUMMARY:St. Paul – The Impact of War\, Writing Workshops Facilitated by Warrior Writers DESCRIPTION:Join Warrior Writers for a series of workshops to address the myriad experiences of war for Veterans and non-Veterans through the medium of writing.
