Grant, Lock, Savage, and Workman will share work that blends photography, archival research, poetry, and prose. The talk centers on Shoreham Yards, a freight yard in Northeast Minneapolis, using it as a lens to examine global infrastructure, transient spaces, and embodied experience.

Roshan Ganu ’20, MFA invites viewers into a contemplative and immersive world with her latest exhibition, समुद्र : Gathering of Waters.

Blending video, painting, and 3-D elements, the mixed media installation explores the emotional and poetic resonances of bodies of water, from Lake Superior to the Arabian Sea. Ganu reflects on how distant waters, despite their physical and cultural differences, can evoke a similar sense of vastness and intimacy.

Shun Yong ’18, MFA will be displaying five pieces of photography from his series Occupations, at the Land that I Love. The concert series by the Cantus Vocal Ensemble explores the nuanced idea of home within America through live performance.

Occupations blends photography and hand-papermaking to reflect on cultural preservation and generational trauma. He’ll also be doing a post-concert artists talk after the performance at Sundin Hall on October 24, explaining his artistic ideation and process.
