Common Ground in the Heartland

Karen Searle's ’99 work is being displayed at an exhibition titled Common Ground in the Heartland: Reflecting on America at 250. The exhibit features midwestern artists reflecting on the nation's 250th anniversary, exploring themes such as community, cultural heritage, and civic life. The goal of the exhibit is to invite the viewers to look beyond a single narrative of the American identity.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
