I showed Threads of Us as a work in progress at Public Functionary, 1500 Jackson St NE, Minneapolis. I was one of fourteen Minnesota photographers sharing work in progress and talking about our process. The evening was funded in part by the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department, through the Cultural Districts Arts Fund.
