BE MY GUEST
This year, TPT prioritized events that spurred conversations to create more inclusive spaces in our communities. Be My Guest fostered social interactions between Muslim and non-Muslim communities through the shared experience of food. This partnership between the Minneapolis Institute of Art and TPT brought people together virtually to watch short-form media and enjoy food, conversation, and learning.
