McKnight Lobby Gallery

Saib Kuv: Watch Me, See the Hmong in Me

Since 2004, The McKnight Foundation has used its lobby gallery to exhibit works that illuminate the range of involvements and interests of the Foundation's grantmaking program areas.

Organized by In Progress, a McKnight out-of-school time grantee, "Saib Kuv" (pronounced shy-KOO) presents a collection of photographic works by young emerging artists from the Twin Cities Hmong community.

The exhibition combines traditional photography with digital effects, collage, and other techniques to examine cultural identity through the lens of each young artist's desires, fears, or aspirations. A community-based network of families, mentors, curators, funders, and other partners provided the support and materials for the artists to create their work.

The mission of In Progress is to diversify cultural dialogue and pave the way for new voices in the field of digital media. Since 1996, it has provided young people with opportunities to develop their skills as storytellers, artists, and leaders through the use of digital media.

Each year, this committed nonprofit serves more than 1,000 youth through mentoring partnerships in urban, rural, and tribal communities to help build the public voice of those least heard in our nation.
