SUMMARY:Omar Offendum\, Ronnie Malley and Thanks Joey: The Little Syria Sho
 w
DESCRIPTION:\n\nSet in the Lower Manhattan neighborhood once known as Littl
 e Syria (1880~1940)\, this genre-bridging performance — spanning Hip-Hop
 \, Arabic instrumentation\, and ḥakawātī oral storytelling traditions 
 — reimagines early 20th-century life in the heart of Arab-America. Just 
 south of the current World Trade Center\, this once vibrant cultural hub f
 or New York’s Middle Eastern immigrants was home to artists and intellec
 tuals\, With live instrumentation by Ronnie Malley on the Oud and Piano an
 d beats by Thanks Joey\, this creative retelling of a tragically underrepr
 esented history draws an audience attuned to stories of immigration\, xeno
 phobia\, and the elusive “American dream.”\n\nOmar Offendum is a Syria
 n-American rapper / spoken word artist. He is a Kennedy Center Citizen Art
 ist Fellow\, an Arab America Foundation "40 Under 40" award recipient\, a 
 member of the Pillars Fund cohort for Muslim Narrative Change and the Race
 Forward Butterfly Lab cohort for Immigrant Narrative Strategy. He dreams o
 f the jasmine scented streets of Damascus.
