For two nights\, David Byrne of Talking Heads performed at the Orpheu m Theatre\, while Purple Rain flickered across the street at the State. The sidewalks buzzed with people\, color\, and possibility. In that moment \, the city itself felt like a stage—alive\, collaborative\, and full of creative electricity. What unfolded on the Orpheum stage was more than a concert. It was an artistic feat that was also intellectual\, civic\, and deeply human. Byrne has always had a knack for dreaming a few steps ahead\ , and his performance was a reminder of how creativity\, design\, and comm unity can intersect to create something transcendent. The overriding vibe that night was simple and irresistible: This must be the place. Great dow ntowns generate that feeling. They aren’t defined by one skyscraper or o ne institution. They thrive when safety is foundational\, when residents\, workers\, business owners\, community partners\, and law enforcement shar e a vision of belonging. They succeed when systems—transportation\, publ ic space\, culture—are designed around people\, not the other way around . And most of all\, they flourish when movement\, purpose\, and collaborat ion flow together. Downtown Minneapolis is at its best when it operates li ke that stage—dynamic\, adaptive\, intentionally designed to bring peopl e together. A vibrant downtown invites us into a system where creativity\, culture\, and community reinforce each other\, where good energy multipli es\, and where people leave feeling inspired and connected. We often hear the question: Is downtown back? But the more useful question is: What a re we building it to be? Real optimism isn’t pretending every challenge is solved. It’s being clear‑eyed about what needs work while being co nfident in our capacity to shape what comes next. And what comes next is a lready taking shape. Downtown Minneapolis today is a place where people li ve in walkable neighborhoods close to parks\, bike trails\, transit\, and hundreds of thousands of jobs. It’s where ambassadors greet visitors wit h help and a smile. It’s where more than 100\,000 people can gather for major events—Taste of Minnesota\, block parties on First Avenue\, commun ity celebrations that make the city feel like one big living room. It’s a place where you can take in world‑class theater\, orchestra performanc es\, live music\, and comedy shows. Where you can grab a cocktail at an i ce bar\, watch a fashion show\, or—because this is Minnesota—even on a rooftop in January. It’s where entrepreneurs launch companies\, attract talent\, and drive results. It’s where chefs experiment\, restaurants p ush boundaries\, and creativity becomes an economic engine. It’s where f ans howl for the Wolves\, cheer on the Lynx\, Skol for the Vikings\, or ro ot for the Twins on a perfect summer night. And it’s a place with unmatc hed natural assets—miles of riverfront access that anchor the city in be auty and movement. In other words\, downtown Minneapolis is already a plac e where the pieces of a vibrant future exist. The task now is to continue designing systems that connect those pieces—to build the infrastructure of community as deliberately as we build the infrastructure of streets and buildings. When people feel welcomed\, inspired\, and fulfilled by their time downtown\, they come back. And when they come back\, the city grows s tronger. “This must be the place” isn’t just a lyric. It’s a direc tive. It’s a challenge to imagine what’s possible when culture leads\, when collaboration is intentional\, and when we treat community as the en gine of our shared prosperity. It’s a reminder that our best days aren ’t behind us—they are in front of us\, shaped by the people who choose to gather\, create\, build\, and dream here.  This is the place. This is home. This is our downtown Minneapolis.

Each of these makers celebrates clay’s ab ility to hold complexity\, contradiction\, tenderness and truth while they bring their own lived experience to the work. To Be Human is not just a bout what a body looks like\, but what it carries. The exhibition aims to be a meditation on empathy and our ability to see ourselves in others– t o be curious about the stories we do not yet know. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPartici pating artists include: Cristina Córdova\, Michelle Gregor\, Ashlyn Pope\ , and Kensuke Yamada. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artists\n\n\n\nCristina Córdova  is a contemporary artist and sculpting instructor from Puerto Rico. She ea rned her BA from the University of Puerto Rico and her MFA from the New Yo rk State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum\; the Mu seum of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico\; and the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico\, among others. Her work has been widely featured in major ceramics a nd arts publications\, including the cover of Ceramics Monthly\, and was highlighted in the PBS series Craft in America in the episode “Identit y.” Córdova is the recipient of a United States Artists Fellowship and the 2024 Maxwell-Hanrahan Craft Award. In 2026\, she was inducted into the American Craft Council College of Fellows. Cristina has taught and demons trated internationally. Her residencies\, workshops\, and lectures have in cluded Harvard University\; the Australian National University in Canberra \; Ceramistas de Reñaca in Chile\; Gaya Ceramic Arts Center in Bali\; and Penland School of Craft (NC)\, among others. “The sea has long existed as a space of passage\, encounter\, and myth\, a vast and unstable territo ry where destinies unfold. In this body of work\, I return to that ancestr al ground that shaped my island youth\, proposing the ocean as both origin and archive.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichelle Gregor received her BA in Studi o Art from the University of California\, Santa Cruz (Chancellor’s Grant ) in 1983 and her MFA from San Francisco State University in 1994 (Outstan ding M.F.A. Candidate\, Art Department). Rooted in a tradition of Abstract Figuration\, Gregor is a multifaceted artist who works in clay\, bronze\, paint and drawing media\, handling each medium with a process-oriented an d intuitive approach that results in painterly forms and images. A tenured Professor of Art at San Jose City College\, Gregor brings to her teaching the same sensibility that defines her studio practice. The human figure h as become a central focus in Gregor’s practice\, serving as a consistent point of exploration across media. Her work often involves multiple firin gs in ceramic pieces and layered applications of color using water-based t echniques that allow for natural movement and variation. This additive and subtractive method creates surfaces with a patina-like quality\, emphasiz ing depth and the passage of time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAshlyn Pope is an Assi stant Professor in 3-d foundations at Coastal Carolina University in Myrtl e Beach\, South Carolina. She is also a ceramic and textile artist of Gull ah descent. Pope earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Kennesaw Sta te University in 2013. There\, she received her degree in Ceramics and Pri ntmaking. She went on to complete her Master’s Degree in Ceramics at The Pennsylvania State University in 2019. Recently\, Pope completed a solo e xhibition at the Myrtle Beach Art Museum named A History of Moving Forwar d II in which she had 6 gallery spaces.  Pope in the last few years\, ha s had her work published in the book Contemporary Black American Ceramic Artists and had an article written about her work in Ceramics Monthly Mag azine. She was honored with having her work grace the cover of that partic ular issue. “Some of my forms hemorrhage colonialism through designs ins pired by historical ceramic wares like delftware while some other forms ha ve golden crowns to reclaim self-love.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKensuke Yamada  draws on his Japanese heritage to explore identity\, folklore\, and the em otions found in moments in everyday life. “Through this mix of the famil iar and the fantastical\, I aim to create a space for connection\, where d istant worlds and shared stories come together.” He has participated in numerous artist residencies and visiting artist programs\, including The Archie Bray Foundation in Helena\, Montana\, and The Clay Studio in Philad elphia\, Pennsylvania. His work has been exhibited both nationally and int ernationally\, and it is included in various museum and institutional coll ections. He is currently an assistant professor at California State Univer sity\, Chico CA. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Curator:Kelly Connole combines the tactile nature of clay with visual interpretations of memories and em otions that address relationships within environments: natural and constru cted\, human and animal. Her work has been exhibited at the NCECA Biennial at the Kentucky Art Museum and NCECA Invitational at the Bellevue Arts Mu seum\, as well as the Flaten Art Museum\, Contemporary Crafts Museum\, and numerous galleries and museums across the country.

However\, the stories of ordinary people — people who are marginalized\, people who are neither rich\, powerful\, influential\, or famous — these  stories tend to get left out of history books and are often forgotte n even by their descendants. In south Minneapolis\, there exists a comm unity of just such forgotten and overlooked individuals — all of the m deceased. This is Pioneer & Soldiers Memorial Cemetery\, the oldest  cemetery in Minneapolis and the final resting place for over 22\,000 a verage citizens buried between 1853 and 1919.  \nThe life stories of t his cemetery's occupants provide a fascinating and diverse cross-section of Minneapolis history from the city's founding until its emergence as a major metropolis. Join Alex Weston from  Hennepin History Museum for this guided walking tour that will highlight forgotten individuals in order to reconstruct a history of Minneapolis from the ground up via the lives of its everyday residents.  \nContent Warning: this tour deals with sensitive topics including death\, depression\, infant and maternal mortality\, poverty\, racism and racial violence\, slavery\, suicide\, and war.   \nAccessibility: The tour will consist of approximately 90 min utes of walking. Although there are no hills or inclines\, the cemetery ground is fairly bumpy and uneven and may not be accessible to all. Ple ase wear appropriate footwear.  \nParking: Parking is available on the paved street within the cemetery (one side only please\, to allow room fo r other vehicles to pass)\, and on the west side of Cedar Street and in th e surrounding neighborhood (please carefully observe all parking restricti on signage).  \nHHM Members: When registering\, log in to your member ac count for access to discounted member tickets. Email membership@hennepin history.org with questions.
