Ordinary People: Stories and
Treasures, an exhibit highlighting the cultural experiences of the local
Muslim community has opened in the Avenue of the Friends and will be on display
through April 22.
Through family stories and heirlooms, “Ordinary People: Stories
and Treasures” shares the values and struggles of Tompkins County residents who
identify as Muslim and offers insight into the shared experiences that help
bridge religious and cultural differences.
The exhibit was curated by Nagiane Lacka Arriaza, Hospitality
Employment Training Program Coordinator at Greater Ithaca Activities Center
(GIAC) with support from Islamic Community Outreach Services and GIAC. For information about curator led tours of
