AREAS OF IMPACT
STORYTELLING REFLECTS OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES
MAKING AN IMPACT THROUGH EDUCATION
WEB SERIES ATTRACT NEW AUDIENCES TPT is committed to creating more digital-first arts, culture & history web series. New platforms draw in new and diverse audiences and expand the impact of our storytelling. Launching in early 2023, the digital first history series, Jim Crow of the North Stories , is a continuation of the award- winning, Legacy-funded, Jim Crow of the North documentary.
Reflecting our diverse communities in Minnesota, both in front of and behind the camera, is a priority and a commitment for TPT. Bring Her Home , a Legacy-funded film directed by Indigenous filmmaker, Leya Hale, tells a story of hope by sharing the experience of three women fighting to bring justice for their family members as part of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women’s (MMIW) Movement.
Season 2 of STAGE , a broadcast arts program, was hosted by musician and educator Natalia Romero Arbeláez, who also worked with TPT Learn to develop custom educational guides and standards-aligned activities for educators to use with the program. STAGE provides a platform for Minnesota artists, expands access to the arts for audiences, and helps Minnesotans discover artists with whom they might not be familiar.
