Art of the Rural, in partnership with Frozen River Film Festival, is pleased to present "My Electric Genealogy," a solo performance by artist, writer, and filmmaker Sarah Kanouse. Part storytelling, part lecture, and part live documentary film, “My Electric Genealogy” explores the shifting cultures and politics of energy through the lens of her own family.
The performance will take place at 119 East Third Street in Winona (the former Public Launch storefront) as part of a two-week tour of the Midwest. This event is free and open to everyone.
Sarah Kanouse is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and filmmaker whose solo and collaborative work has been presented at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Documenta 13, the Museum of Contemporary Art-Chicago, The Cooper Union, The Smart Museum, and numerous festivals, academic institutions and artist-run spaces.

We are excited to share the online launch of Spillway Stories, a collaboration with The Art of the Rural, Engage Winona, and individuals across the community that creates space for artists, culture-bearers, and storytellers to share the history, experiences, and visions for the future in the Winona region.
Deep gratitude to everyone involved in making these pieces possible!
The stories shared here were produced through a collaboration between Art of the Rural and Engage Winona.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
