In publication since 1999, "Mizna" remains the only journal of Arab American literature. Mizna is a precious space for our authors, who are both emerging and established, in which they are not confined by what it is supposed to mean to be Arab, as defined by dominant culture, rather, through "Mizna," authors have the creative freedom to explore themes that are real and relevant to them, whether they are identity based or not. Through this effort, Mizna reaches about 1,000 people. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | FILM FESTIVAL: The eleventh Twin Cities Arab Film Festival took place September 29-October 2, 2016. The TCAFF is the largest and longest running Arab film festival in the American Midwest. The Festival has high standards of presenting local debut screenings, showcasing independent film, and inviting filmmakers. The TCAFF provides Arab and Muslim Americans the opportunity to see authentic facets of their stories reflected on screen, something not available through mainstream movies and media. Further, through the TCAFF, Mizna is able to bring films that otherwise would not have been seen by Twin Cities audiences and to strengthen the global and local community of Arab film artists. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | CLASSES AND SPECIAL EVENTS: Mizna continued to offer high quality, affordable Arabic language and Arabic drumming community education courses in 2016. The 10-week courses are taught by experienced instructors at the five language levels, from Beginning to Advanced, and two drumming skill levels. New in 2016, Mizna began offering two levels of Arabic conversation classes. In 2016, besides the journal, the film festival, and classes, Mizna also presented a number of special cultural events including co-presenting a national conference on Arab American literature, "The RAWI-Mizna Gathering," which culminated in a rare performance from nationally acclaimed spoken word master Suheir Hammad. Other special events in 2016 included a first-ever Children's Arabic Festival, a powerful one-woman play ("In Algeria They Know my Name" by Taous Khazem), and an ensemble dance performance from experimental dance artist Leyya Tawil. |
