About
As a part of the Global Cultural Initiative, the United States Department of State and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts offer professional development opportunities to energize the work of emerging international artists in their own countries by bringing them to the United States and providing them with instructive and informative experiences in their arts discipline, exposure to the creation and performance of world-class art, and opportunities to develop relationships with U.S. arts professionals. This podcast series captures the sights and sounds of the programís first season, which features performing artists from Venezuela, Turkey, Bolivia, Palestine, Morocco, and Indonesia.
