Sisi ni Nani: Ziara ya Kutembea kwa Maadili
Exploring Values Through Art
Jina la Y's Norman E. Alexander Center for Jewish Life is proud to present the Who We Are: Ziara ya Kutembea kwa Maadili, showcasing local artists representing a different humanitarian value each month.
The Norman E. Alexander Center for Jewish Life at the YM&YWHA ya Washington Heights & Inwood (Kuhusu Y) is inviting artists from Northern Manhattan to participate in an innovative community art project: Sisi ni Nani: Ziara ya Kutembea kwa Maadili. Through this project, we welcome local artists to submit works of art related to a specific set of humanitarian values, one for each month of the year, to engage the community in a values-based conversation through monthly art exhibitions.
