DIASPORA PERFORMANCE PROJECT
Supporting Cultural Artists in Our Community
Through our underwritten program by the Hohenberg Foundation and generous donors in our community, the Diaspora Performance Project has been supporting and developing a strong foundation for five artists selected for two years of support; Shawn Merriman Roberts (Haiti), Mandjou Kone (Mali), Loubayi Arnaud (Congo), Oumou Faye (Senegal), Ramon Ramos Alayo (Cuba) and Vivien Boussamina (Congo). This program has allowed these artists to expand impact in their artistic and community relationships.
