Mississippi Musings: The Impact of Warming Winters
Did you know that Minnesota’s winters are warming faster than our summer months? Come learn about the impacts of warming winters on the Mississippi River and surrounding watershed.
At our kick-off event, Jothsna Harris, founder of Change Narrative, will be both expert and storyteller at this month’s workshop. Jothsna Harris implements climate change programs that are rooted in community and centered on personal stories.
Artist Kimberly Boustead will lead participants through a collaborative art project consisting of personalized squares depicting a healthy Mississippi River. Participants will learn simple stitches and applique to adorn their squares with botanical dyed stitching and wool elements.
This workshop is a collaborative effort between the MWMO; Minneapolis artist, Kimberly Boustead; and Jothsna Harris, founder of Change Narrative.
The event is free, but registration is required.
The Sacred Water Shared Future campaign is powered by you! The heart of this centennial celebration is the incredible variety of events planned and hosted by our partners — community groups, nonprofits, businesses, schools, and individuals who feel a connection to the Mississippi River.
We do not host events ourselves; instead, we serve as a central hub for river-focused activities happening across the Twin Cities throughout 2026.
