Featured artists include Muhammad Ismail Muhammad Durdi (Afghan jewelry); Fatou Camara (hair braiding/Ivory Coast); Majaliwa D Maulidi (Congolese wood carving); Asmah Hashimi (Afghan henna); Pinya Aung (Karen harp); Mundo Nuevo (Latinx music); Inner Vision Gospel Ensemble of the Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church; Wa Lika Band (Mbaya Patrick Kasongo – Congolese music) and more.
