Outer Experiences: Black Life in Rural and Suburban Minnesota is photography exhibition exploring the experience of being Black outside of the Twin Cities. The exhibition is based on AAICM’s eponymous digital collection featuring the oral histories of 21 Black narrators and their stories of living in small-town Minnesota.

The Builders exhibit showcases the social history of three Black Minnesotans who impacted the architecture and design of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. By exploring the works of Clarence “Cap” W. Wigington, Casiville Bullard, and William Hazel, we're encouraging exhibit visitors to appreciate familiar Twin Cities buildings in a new way while learning about the obstacles that Black professionals faced in 19th and 20th century Minnesota. The Exhibition was featured in the Star Tribune’s 2019 Top Art Exhibitions.
