What is the I-House World Tour?
We are touring the world at I-House with a series of four celebrations throughout 2023-2024 that explore the intersection of culture, migration, and identity through music, dance, food, art, and conversation.
Each celebration will include a performance, visual art, and an educational workshop – fostering cultural awareness, promoting global appreciation, and nurturing a sense of unity.
Each event will delve into a specific diaspora, offering a deep immersion into its rich traditions and contributions to our community.
