Just as the cold weather goes hand-in-hand with crockpots, canning jars frequently become countertop staples in times of uncertainty. Pulling from Minnetrista’s collection, this original exhibition will explore the history of crisis canning in America. The exhibition will explore how wars, pandemics, and economic struggles have transformed canning from an ordinary mode of cooking into a form of emergency planning. Through this exhibition, we will come to know the everyday heroes who fought for their families through the act of food preservation and how the world has shaped and reshaped their motivations over time.
