As we commemorate AANM’s 20th anniversary this year, we’re proud to launch Arab Massachusetts: Building Community in the Commonwealth – a traveling exhibition that honors the stories and legacies of Arab Americans across Massachusetts. This exhibition is the first of its kind, shaped by voices from the community and rooted in our mission to preserve and uplift Arab American heritage.

Join us at the Opening Reception at Pao Arts Center in Boston, which will feature reflections from the exhibition’s curators and researchers, along with a live musical performance by Hui Weng and Firas Zreik, exploring the historic ties between Boston’s Little Syria and present-day Chinatown.
