Because everyone has personal associations with hair, the gallery design will provide opportunities for museum visitors to contribute to a collaborative work.

Text and readings by Paulette Alden Bates, Valerie Miner and Mary Francois Rockcastle are also included.Michasel Stoughton will curate a presentation of hair weaving from private Minnesota collections.
