'A love letter to Minnesota': New magazine profiles humanities efforts
In a world where people often take in stories through short online videos, a Minnesota organization is getting media consumers reacquainted with a traditional platform, bringing community-building efforts to life, led by a diverse mix of people and cultures. The Minnesota Humanities Center is out with its debut edition of " 10,000 Threads ," a magazine offering human stories, like a farmer and educator who hosts independent writing workshops, or a hub in St. Paul allowing curious people to learn about East African culture. Ali Syverson, director of strategic communications for the center, said the organization wanted the new approach to capture the depth of people around the state who are trying to build social connections. "10,000 Threads is supposed to be an open love letter to the people of Minnesota. It's about weaving together the stories of Minnesota's people, and it's all about to help us imagine and create and ensure a vibrant and thriving state," Syverson outlined. The magazine comes in print and digital form with plans for biannual publications. The debut edition was sent to 25,000 recipients, and interested readers can go to the center's website to subscribe for a copy of future releases and to download
