Within this plan, we will develop a series of cultural events (plays, speakers, presentations) that can be delivered live before an audience for educational purposes and/or videographed for preservation. These productions will amplify the custodians of Somali culture and will allow Somali artists to share their collective work, knowledge, and wisdom with the Somali and non-Somali communities. The majority of the events will be performed publicly and digitally recorded for future use and for preservation.
The pandemic has created challenges for Minnesota families, schools and communities like never before.
