Panel talks to explore visions for revitalizing Shoreham Yards buffers

A pair of events this week will explore visions for revitalizing areas around Shoreham Yards.

The panel discussions will take place Wednesday, April 20, at the Weisman Art Museum and Friday, April 22, at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

MCAD faculty member Gudrun Lock and a group of poets, researchers, activists, and other artists will explore what revitalization means to them.

Lock’s exhibition, the Nature of Shoreham Yards at the Weisman Art Museum, features the in-process work, research, and explorations of a motley collective of thinkers and makers. The focus of these efforts are the buffers of Shoreham Yards, an active, 230-acre train and trucking facility in Northeast Minneapolis. Both polluted and full of life, the buffers interface in dynamic ways with the neighborhoods surrounding them, and are potent sites of potential transformation, revitalization, and repair.
