August 5th MAPP: Music of the Banned
Art can be used to bring awareness. Through art and culture, we can learn to identify with each other and explore what we all have in common.

We are inviting the artistic ambassadors of these Muslim countries to lay down the drawbridge to their countries’ soundscape and beauty, and invite us all in.
In today’s America, there is a lack of awareness o...
