Event
The Ingredients of Play: How Food Shapes Our Identity

Enjoy an a la carte conversation exploring the ways in which food and play have influenced identity. Your menu of speakers includes local restauranteurs, professors, and UMKC Roos who will provide food for thought through the lens of art and material culture in T/m's unique collection of toys and fine-scale miniatures.

Following a panel discussion in the Tureman Education Center at T/m, speakers and guests will have the opportunity to engage in further casual/impromptu discussion about food in the galleries directly in front of the original museum objects.

This event is included with General Admission to the museum on 10/19. Admission is always free to T/m Members and UMKC faculty, students, staff.

This event is organized in partnership with the UMKC Women’s Center as part of UMKC Engagement Month. The event qualifies as a First Semester Experience credit.
