It\u2019s not often that we get to learn about the journeys of people from diverse\u00a0backgrounds. It\u2019s not often that we get to walk in the shoes of our neighbors, and\u00a0reflect about the growth of our community in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n

Tracks in the Snow<\/em> provides a glimpse into the lives of one of the least known\u00a0and rapidly expanding populations in America and in Minnesota \u2013 the Muslim\u00a0community. Join us to gain a deeper insight into the true lives of Minnesota Muslims as narrated by themselves.<\/p>\n

Most importantly<\/strong>, join us to create a conversation. Let the exhibit inform your\u00a0perceptions and tell us what you think! Tracks in the Snow is a way for us to come\u00a0together and redefine the narrative about Minnesota Muslims by beginning an\u00a0authentic dialogue and continuing the journey.<\/p>\n
