Mississippi Musings March Workshop: Impact of Warming Winters

This workshop kicks off Mississippi Musings, a new MWMO workshop series exploring the Mississippi River through science, storytelling, and art. Inspired by Sacred Water, Shared Future, this year-long series invites community members to connect more deeply with the river and its future.

Did you know that Minnesota’s winters are warming faster than our summer months?  Come learn about the impacts of warming winters on the Mississippi River and surrounding watershed.

At this opening session, Jothsna Harris, founder of Change Narrative, will be both expert and storyteller at this month’s workshop.  Jothsna Harris implements climate change programs that are rooted in community and centered on personal stories.

Artist Kimberly Boustead will lead participants through a collaborative art project consisting of personalized squares depicting a healthy Mississippi River.  Participants will learn simple stitches and applique to adorn their squares with botanical dyed stitching and wool elements.

This workshop is a collaborative effort between the MWMO; Minneapolis artist, Kimberly Boustead; and Jothsna Harris, founder of Change Narrative.

The event is free, but registration is required.
