Juried Art Exhibitions

On technology, identity, and public health

Using art to spark seemingly impossible cross-cultural conversations since 2017.

IAA Curation

The IAA is a thriving Twin Cities artist collective that

catalyzes civic engagement; investigates scientific, technological, and medical controversies; and curates under-served community voices 
by translating complex issues into easy-to-understand:
 

  • Local, national, and international art exhibitions and installations;

  • Academic research and publications;

  • Public art criticism and

  • Educational materials for attorneys, teachers, citizens, and advocates.

Thank you to our partners.

      Our own body of work is motivated by the same goals that guide our exhibitions of other artists' work.  We want to use aesthetic experiences as a means of engaging the general public with digital and biomedical harms that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye or too bogged down in esoteric jargon.
