Gratitude for including me in your wonderful dreaming of this project. Can’t wait to share it with everyone Join us for an evening of film, food, and conversation with Minnesota composer Mary Prescott at the premiere of Mother Tongue. This film screening and artist talk explores the deep connections between food, community, and family.

In September 2024, Prescott and The Great Northern hosted a potluck dinner with five artists, writers, and community leaders: José Luis, Ifrah Mansour, Kate Beane, Kao Kalia Yang, and Eyenga Bokamba. Each guest brought a family dish and shared the stories and cultural significance behind their recipes. This intimate gathering was captured in a short documentary film that we are thrilled to share with you for the first time.

As part of the experience, you’ll also have the opportunity to sample food from some of the featured participants. Don’t miss this celebration of our diverse culinary traditions. Learn more and get tickets at the link in bio.
