Summary:It is difficult to imagine two partner museums with more different historical and cultural milieus than the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul and the Palestinian Heritage Museum in East Jerusalem. Yet these institutions share a commitment to strong teen programming, along with rich textile collections that inspire an exploration of identity across time and cultures.

The project sought to use clothing to create cross-cultural partnerships and increase understanding between young women from East Jerusalem and Minnesota's Twin Cities.
