Legacy Dream Space comes to the Twin Cities

Interference Arts is excited to announce that Legacy Dream Space is coming to the Twin Cities!

Date: September 12-25

Location:  Modus Locus Expansion (3338 University Ave SE # 220, Minneapolis, MN 55414)

Do you Wonder about the Past? Do you Dream about the Future? Are you Curious about how our lives create what follows?

We invite you to join us in Legacy Dream Space – a multi-sensory story space that explores Loss, Hope and Legacy. The story space blends video projection, digital art, theatre, music and soundscapes into a reflective interactive multimedia environment, designed to explore our past and present, and to collaborate with our community to create a legacy for future generations. The story space evolves through community engagement, always capturing new content – sharing what we want to pass on to future generations, and what we wish to leave behind in the dust of the past. In this sense Legacy Dream Space is a living time capsule – a lasting and evolving legacy that supports mutual understanding, healthy communities, and a sustainable future for humanity and the planet.

Following a successful premiere exhibition at the Owatonna Art Center in the fall of 2023, Craig Harris & Candy Kuehn, in collaboration with Kym Longhi & Jim Peitzman, have continued to develop the project to include music and theatrical performances, creative maker events, and special convenings to have facilitated conversations that enrich the experience. This new version takes place at the beautiful Modus Locus Expansion space, and is created in collaboration with The Center for Creativity and Public Health, and Art to Change the World.

The Center for Creativity and Public Health harnesses the transformative power of creativity to build healthier, more resilient communities. In addition to providing substantial support in bringing our vision of Legacy Dream Space to fruition, the Center is bringing their unique abilities to provide significant programming to enrich the experience:

• Creative maker events – workshops conducted to provide opportunities to explore the exhibition themes facilitated by invited artists. One event on 9/21 is “Caring for Ourselves & Our Community,” which will be led by teaching artist Ta-coumba Aiken. More of these maker events will be announced shortly.
• Theatrical performance and video screening of projects developed by The Remember Project, which uses the arts to support the Dementia Friendly Communities movement.
• The Center will also be facilitating conversations as part of the Carry the Mantle performance.

We are grateful to Barbara Bridges and Art to Change the World for supporting Legacy Dream Space going back to the development workshops in the fall of 2022. We continue our collaboration in this 2024 exhibition with a special ACW art exhibit, curated by Sam St. John. Several ACW artists have been invited to share their work, including SAM Greene, Daphne McDonald, Briauna Williams, Becca David, Paul Kellett, Lynette Black, Layl McDill, Catherine A. Palmer, Sam St. John and Frances Bates.
Craig Harris will perform Carry the Mantle with cellist Randall Davidson. This piece that explores how personal experiences and cultural stories shape our fight for a better world. Carry the Mantle merges the story about the Prophet Elijah – a champion for justice who appears throughout time – with stories and memories about the challenges and resilience of individuals and communities facing hardship under occupation in Bethehem/West Bank. Carry the Mantle asks how we can find purpose and hope even in difficult times.

Please join us for an exhibition specially designed for this time.

An opening reception event with the artists will take place on Thursday September 12, 5:00pm – 8:00pm. We will celebrate the exhibition, and the artists will guide people through the exhibition.

Legacy Dream Space visitors of any age are invited to explore this glorious sensory world, and to engage in the unfolding of our shared future. The Modus Locus Expansion space and the exhibition are ADA Accessible.
