Voices of Cultura, amplify arts, culture, and heritage through LatinX Arts In Minnesota. Murals are mirrors of community with imagery, traditions, and ceremonies embedded within the stories shared. Writing circles create spaces for underrepresented LatinX/BIPOC communities to experience an affirming space with LatinX-focused activities to increase connectivity with arts, culture, and heritage. LatinX and BIPOC communities' cultural pride and honor will be elevated and celebrated.
Our new project, Honor the Past, Preserve the Future: Hmong 18 Clans Custom and Cultural Preservation Project, is to preserve the history, traditional, and changing lives of the Hmong Minnesotans.
We seek planning resources to bring together a collective of young people who have localized and brought to life traditional Norte'o, Ranchera, Tejano, and Banda music. This collective will be comprised by the young Latinx leaders of the Dos Coronas, Elegancia LR, and Alto Designo bands to design and develop a Mexican music education program to engage Latinx elementary and high school students in learning, practicing, and reimagining Mexican traditional music.
