Start: 2026-05-31T14:00:00-05:00
Location: Minneapolis Institute of Art

Minneapolis Institute of Art

Join us for a talk by Monika Hinkel and explore how Yoshida Hodaka and Chizuko each use their medium to express modernist ideas. Hodaka’s wall series contrasts with Chizuko’s lyrical, abstract works featuring musical and organic motifs. Although married and working within similar mediums, their artistic visions diverge significantly. The discussion highlights how they channel personal creativity and modernist influences into distinct yet complementary visual styles.
Tickets available April 30, 2026.

Please join us for a lecture and conversation with Makeda Best, Deputy Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Oakland Museum of California Art, and Casey Riley, Chair of Global Contemporary Art at Mia, in connection with the “Containing Multitudes” exhibition.
Like other American thinkers of the 19th century, Walt Whitman, through his writing, poetry, and the production of his own likenesses, envisioned an almost divine role for the daguerreotype—that its material and pictorial properties could contribute to a broader cultural project to recover proof of and to promote the validity of the nation’s providential origins and divine mission. Whitman declared himself devoted to “what is real about America”—to the people whose diversity of skills were literally constructing the nation in their image. This lecture draws on the photographs featured in “Containing Multitudes” to explore the omissions and legacies of visions such as Whitman’s, and the ways practitioners have envisioned and interpreted their truths about America and its promise.
Makeda Best is the Deputy Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Oakland Museum of California Art (OMCA), where she leads the Curatorial, Production, Design, and Collections Departments. A photography scholar, Best’s most recent exhibition, “American Job: 1940–2011,” was shown at the International Center for Photography, New York in 2025. Best formerly served as the Richard L. Menschel Curator of Photography at the Harvard Art Museums, where she curated numerous acclaimed exhibitions, including “Devour the Land: War and American Landscape Photography Since 1970” and “Time Is Now: Photography and Social Change in James Baldwin’s America.” Her curatorial practice centers on photography, documentary, history, social change, and expanding representation within museum collections. A widely published scholar and award-winning educator, she is the author of Elevate the Masses: Alexander Gardner, Photography and Democracy in 19th Century America and recipient of the 2022 Paris Photo–Aperture Photography Catalogue of the Year Award.

Edina Brand Launches Smarter Jumpsuit Design

KRE PRIME

Minneapolis — KRE Prime, an Edina-based adaptive brand, is putting a practical twist on one of fashion’s most versatile and often impractical, staples. KRE Prime is an adaptive brand focused on style, accessibility and innovative design. The jumpsuit includes one base pant and two interchangeable tops, allowing wearers to create multiple looks from a single set. Each piece can be worn separately or connected with a discreet zipper to form a full jumpsuit. Grady said the inspiration came from personal experience. Although she appreciated the clean, minimal look of jumpsuits, she found them difficult to wear in everyday situations. “I wanted something that felt effortless but also worked with the way people actually live,” she said. “It needed to be beautiful, but also practical.” That balance extends to accessibility. The design allows the bottom portion to be removed without taking off the top, offering a more flexible and comfortable option for people with a range of mobility needs. Made from structured stretch fabric using recycled materials, the jumpsuit is designed to hold its shape while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear. It is intended to transition easily from work to evening. Although KRE Prime operates as a digital-first brand, its roots are local. Grady, who launched the company in part to honor her late sister, said she wanted to create clothing that feels inclusive, thoughtful, and easy to wear. The Dual-Top Convertible Jumpsuit is now available in black and red, in sizes S through XL, priced at $150. Explore the Dual-Top Convertible Jumpsuit at kreprime.com.
