This activity is also made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Exploring homemaking and memories in the portraits of Iraqi Minnesotans, the Home of Memories exhibition toured to the Rochester Art Center and the Hennepin History Museum, where a total of 18,000 people engaged with these important stories of home.
A group of students stand with their backs to the camera. They face a man standing across the room. They are in the gallery of a museum. A wall is covered in Arabic calligraphy, with the words "home of memories" in large lettering.

In November, we gathered in Fridley, Rochester, and on Zoom with over 40 Iraqi American community members to hear the kinds of stories they want to share through future arts programming. Artist Adnan Shati beautifully captured the sentiments of our Fridley gathering on canvas.
An Iraqi artist stands next to a large painting on an easel. In the painting, a group of figures in blue gather around three large tables. In the background on the left are rocky cliffs and evergreen trees on a lakeshore. On the right is the busy city of Baghdad depicted with large crowds of people and several Iraqi flags. In between is a large expanse of water.
