“Identity and the American Landscape”
Featuring Wing Young Huie, an award-winning photographer and engaging speaker, who has received international attention for his many projects that document the changing cultural landscape. His best-known work is Lake Street USA, which in the summer and fall of 2000 transformed six miles of a well-known Minneapolis thoroughfare into one of the most remarkable public art projects in recent memory. His talk will reflect the  socio-economic, ethnic, and cultural realities of an America in constant flux. He will share the challenges he's faced during his 30 year effort to shed light on the complex mysteries of disparate communities. This event is free and open to the public
