Creative Minds examines the achievements and personal stories of Italian American inventors and vanguards, both immigrant and native born, demonstrating that United States innovation has long reflected the diversity of its people. Featuring a range of objects, rare documents, and images, and spanning technology, science, cuisine, education, and medicine, Creative Minds emphasizes the stories of the people who dared to think differently and took risks, all in the pursuit of something new.

Our Bodies Are Memories of Our Bodies: Siapo ma Solo

siapo—indigenous Samoan barkcloth abstraction—and solo—poetry in the Samoan genre and worldview, here composed in English—by Fa’afafine, non-binary Samoan artist Dan Taulapapa McMullin. Printed on cloth with ink painting, these works embody the fa’asamoa understanding that the body itself is an archive, carrying ancestral and personal memory through the mana of social and environmental relationships.
