Immigrant
Participatory Arts: an Insight into Community-building in Silicon
Valley
Cultural
Initiatives Silicon Valley has just released the results of a groundbreaking
study that examines participation in the arts by immigrants in Silicon
Valley. Immigrant Participatory Arts: An Insight into Community-building
in Silicon Valley by Dr. Pia Moriarty finds that the dominant
reason for the existence of amateur arts groups in immigrant communities
derives from a strong desire of parents to maintain the structure,
values, language, and traditions of their families.
