Event Details

May is Asian Pacific American Heritage month. Traverse Area District Library (TADL) invites you, our community, to help recognize the contributions, achievements, and identities of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) that have helped shape America’s development into a richly multicultural society.

Let's get together to enjoy and celebrate regional AAPI food vendors along with an engaging conversation on identity, culture, and experiences in Traverse City!

Join us this evening for:

  • Light refreshments beginning at 5:30pm
  • Minari movie at 6:00pm
  • Community discussion after the movie!

Minari is a tender and sweeping story about what roots us, it follows a Korean-American family that moves to a tiny Arkansas farm in search of their own American Dream. The family home changes completely with the arrival of their sly, foul-mouthed, but incredibly loving grandmother. Amidst the instability and challenges of this new life in the rugged Ozarks, this film shows the undeniable resilience of family and what really makes a home.

Thanks to support from Northern Michigan E3 and the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation, light refreshments from local Asian American food vendors will be served.
