SHOREVIEW — In light of Operation Metro Surge and its impact on both the community and the state of Minnesota, the Shoreview Human Rights Commission (HRC) recently hosted a discussion on the immigration resources that are available to residents. “Recently the city of Shoreview released a statement regarding ICE activity in our area, and we want to be clear … Our commitment to being a welcoming and safety community for all residents remains steadfast,” said HRC Chair Alicia Dietsche. Discussion focused on what to do during an interaction with federal agents and family preparation. Dietsche said family preparation includes vital steps, such as delegation of parental authority and power of attorney forms. Zoe Zick Martens and Lisa Salazar from Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services (SMRLS) participated in the discussion, offering deeper insight into these resources and how community members can access them.

CAT Museum unveils 1st-ever abstract painting, glass sculpture exhibition BY MADELINE DOLBY EDITOR
SHOREVIEW — The United States’ first abstract painting and glass sculpture exhibition is on display at the Cafesjian Art Trust (CAT) Museum. The exhibition, “Abstraction and Ourselves,” features paintings and sculptures by international artists. When Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art Jill Ahlberg Yohe arrived at the museum, she saw works by glass sculpture artists Stanislav Libensky and Jaroslava Brychtova. Soon after, she learned the artists were trained in Cubism and were abstract artists.
“They were in conversation with abstraction, and one of the best ways to complement those stories of artists working in glass sculpture is to bring in big paintings,” Ahlberg Yohe said. Ahlberg Yohe has been with the CAT Museum since December 2023. She said something magical comes together when you have very large-scale paintings and large-scale sculptures side by side. “It (the creation of the exhibition) started with seeing our magnificent works by Libensky and Brychtova, and then many of their students, and then building something that was different,” Ahlberg Yohe added. “Abstraction and Ourselves” high-
lights works by a broad range of artists, including abstract painters Helen Frankenthaler, Howardena Pindell and Dyani White Haw, alongside sculptures by Claire Falkenstein, Libensky and Brychtova. The museum also wanted to make abstraction available to everyone. “Abstraction is nonrepresentational, and it’s just something about an expression of an idea, an emotion or an experience. That’s all it is. And as human beings, we all have ideas, feelings and experiences,” said Ahlberg Yohe. The show features 15 pieces from the museum’s permanent collection, five SEE CAT MUSEUM, PAGE 7
