4/29 (Zoom) 6:00 PM - Honoring Arab American Artists, with Naomi Shihab Nye & Heather Raffo (Arab American Institute)

 Monday, April 29, 6:00 PM EDT - Zoom

Join the Arab American Institute Monday, April 29th, at 6 PM ET as they continue acknowledging Arab American Heritage Month. Monday's conversation will focus on how our community relates to life's joy and struggles through language and art. You'll hear from award-winning Arab American artists Naomi Shihab Nye and Heather Raffo about their chosen forms of expression, the role their art plays in providing hope, and their response to the crisis of worldwide injustice and inequity.

Art is integral to connection and Arab American artists are culture bearers helping us to better understand ourselves and our world. As art is always informed by the artists' experiences and identities, Arab American artists’ often provide a healing space for Arab Americans while educating others about the community’s heritage, narrative, hopes, and dreams. 

You may register for what will be an extraordinary conversation here.
