Artists of the Big River Continuum: Bloom like a wildflower in a hurricane and flow like a river
The Big River Continuum Project cultivates creative exchanges connecting communities of the Mississippi River from the headwaters to the delta. Taking inspiration from the Ojibwe name Misiziibi, or gichi-ziibi (meaning Huge River), this initiative turns the Mississippi River in its entirety into a platform for creative collaboration. Supported by the UMN Extension Northwest and Central Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships, this project strives to connect geographies and sectors to synergize the uniqueness of regional and indigenous cultures, artists and scholars in a shared process of inquiry.
