Rooted Futures: Building Sovereignty and Belonging Through Culture and Place
Welcome to the Twin Cities, from the Conference Planning Committee.
As part of our preparations for the upcoming GIA 2025 Annual Conference in the Twin Cities, we sat down with members of the planning committee to get their take on what makes Minneapolis and St. Paul’s cultural scene unique. From must-see spots to hidden gems and what they are most eager for as the conference approaches, they shared insights on what visitors shouldn’t miss and how the Twin Cities’ vibrant arts community continues to drive change in the city.
