The Exchange Tour

circa 2022


THE EXCHANGE TOUR, presents a series of exhibits and screenings dedicated to building appreciation for the arts by sharing digital stories across communities in the state of Minnesota. In Progress is a digital arts organization dedicated to paving the way for new voices through the art of digital media. We work with communities throughout the state of Minnesota, supporting artists from within their communities.

We are proud to share the vision of five artists and curators from Bois Forte Nation, Leech Lake Nation, Red Lake Nation, Crookston and Saint Paul. The artwork presented in this publication represents 3 years of shared photographic works from these communities. The works were all created through the use of digital cameras and computers and were then curated and presented publicly by the following artists:

  • Monique Arguelles

  • Karen Barrett

  • Reyna Cruz Gonzalez Lussier

  • Cecilia Martinez

  • Cristina Rodriguez

  • Nicole Staples

  • Kazua Melissa Vang
