Bosnian weavers and needleworkers, Somali basketmakers, Assyrian lacemakers, and a Liberian tailor will showcase their beautiful traditional textile crafts at the Institute for Community Research (ICR).

The event celebrates a year-long project that brings together members of recent immigrant and refugee groups to produce and share their traditional art forms. 

Participants in the project will welcome the public with food, music, and information from their cultures, and they will have art works for sale. The event is free.
