ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education ACHF Cultural Heritage
In offering these presentations, this project has two guiding goals: To increase access to works of Somali traditional art, which has previously been unavailable in the Twin Cities metro, to the Somali community. To use engagement with Somali art as a catalyst for community-building and cultural education within the Somali and non-Somali communities. he Somali Museum depends on community input to structure its programming, particularly regarding the ways traditional art is framed within modern life. In 2014, we hosted a keystone stakeholder input session to plan the content provided in the Mobile Culture Show. In succeeding years, our community input and Board has indicated that we should increase our focus on reaching young Somalis as first target demographic. Success of this project is measured through ongoing demand for the Mobile Culture Show, in terms of receiving further program requests from venues.
Over 700 adults and 500 youth attend the programs in person. This project was able to engage 7 artist educators. The additional virtual events and videos were viewed over 20,000 times. 95% of the in person audience expressed interested and excitement for the program.
