“We are proud to be a part of Immigrant Heritage Week 2018 and we thank the Mayor’s Office on Immigrant Affairs for including us,” says Immigrant Arts Coalition Chair and NYTF CEO Christopher Massimine. “Storytelling has always been central in ensuring cultural legacy and continuity. The performing arts provides an important platform for authors to share their diversity, heritage and identity. The impact of using live performance as the vehicle for the platform allows for an immediate and direct cross-cultural dialogue that informs a greater understanding of how Immigrant Arts have influenced, enhanced, and continue to expand the richly varied composition of United States.”
