Presented by the Virginia Museum of History & Culture and the Center for Cultural Vibrancy, join us for a celebration of the richness of artistic traditions brought to Virginia by recent immigrants and refugees.
Experience music, dance, food, visual arts, and ceremonies performed by master artists from around the world now living in the Commonwealth; traditions that that were born and nurtured over centuries in places like Mongolia, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Bolivia, Guatemala, and Cambodia; and that are now thriving here.
The power and extraordinary range of cultural traditions that immigrants and refugees bring with them, enriching the Commonwealth in many ways, will be on full display.
This showcase event is being presented as a complement to the VMHC’s new exhibition, "We the People: The World in Our Commonwealth, which explores the history and stories of immigration in Virginia from the founding of the United States until the present day.
In partnership with the Center for Cultural Vibrancy; with additional support from the Humanities Resource Center at Virginia Commonwealth University and the Virginia Folklife Program of Virginia Humanities.
