Art is more than expression — it’s resistance, it’s hope, it’s identity. At People in Action, we lift up the voices, visions, and traditions that define our community. Through murals, poetry, and Somali Week celebrations, we turn our stories into movements that inspire and ignite change.
Somali Week isn’t just a festival — it’s a celebration of who we are.
Rooted in art, culture, and community, Somali Week brings together thousands to honor tradition, uplift voices, and showcase the beauty and strength of Somali identity. Through music, poetry, fashion, and food, we create a space for joy, storytelling, and cultural pride — all led by the people, for the people.
Kushite Arts is a creative force within People in Action — using murals, paintings, and visual storytelling to celebrate culture, spark dialogue, and transform everyday spaces into powerful reflections of our community.
Poetry at People in Action is more than just words — it’s a movement.
Through spoken word, live concerts, and dynamic shows, we create powerful spaces where artists, youth, and community members bring their stories to life. Our stages are filled with raw emotion, rhythm, and truth — blending poetry, music, and performance to inspire, heal, and ignite change. Whether it’s an open mic night or a full showcase event, every moment is a celebration of voice, identity, and community power.
