Building community through immigrant-led cultural experiences in Washington, DC.

About us

KAMA DC is a grassroots organization that provides a platform for immigrants in the Washington, DC area to share their skills and stories. Imagine a photography workshop, a storytelling night, a Persian language class, a Thai cooking class, a seminar on Central American history or Ethiopian cuisine – and many more. The classes are as diverse as the people teaching them! The idea is simple: By learning from each other, KAMA builds connections between groups who tend to interact on rare occasions. We facilitate dialogue and mutual understanding and empower both instructors and attendees to foster positive relationships and build community. The KAMA initiative has already been successful in several Austrian and German cities and we are excited to bring it to the DMV. KAMA DC is run entirely by volunteers who are passionate about building ties, facilitating cultural exchanges, and starting conversations.

    Had an amazing weekend in Washington, DC speaking at Immigration Film Festival after a screening of my animated short film "Catch the Moon"! KAMA DC did a wonderful job organizing the event and I felt so heard with the story I was trying to tell! I was furthermore so fulfilled by the heart of the other films I had the great joy to watch at the festival. What an honor to do a director Q&A and I hope to return again!
