The program will roll out a series of interactive workshops led by esteemed Somali artists and educators. These workshops will cover various aspects of Somali arts, including traditional and contemporary music, poetry, dance, and visual arts, catering to all ages and skill levels.
The program is specifically designed to support the cultural advancement of the African-American community in this area. Historically, this community has faced systemic disadvantages that have impacted its cultural vitality. By identifying, supporting, and strengthening various aspects of African-American culture, this program aims to preserve and protect the community's rich heritage. The African-American church, a longstanding symbol of unity and preservation, will serve as a key venue for these activities, providing an ideal location for these community events.
