Join South Asia Institute for an extraordinary fusion of art and narrative in a special storytelling event. Eight dynamic South Asian American artists showing in the acclaimed group show, Are Shadow Bodies Electric? (a section of the groundbreaking exhibition, What is Seen and Unseen: Mapping South Asian American Art in Chicago), candidly share details of their personal artistic journeys.
This is a unique opportunity to hear them recount their experiences of creating art while navigating the complexities of their intersectional identities, and to celebrate the achievements of the diverse group who have contributed to shaping the South Asian American art landscape in Chicago. Featured artists include Tara Asgar, Kunal Sen, Udita Upadhyaya, Shaurya Kumar, Tulika Ladsariya, Brendan Fernandes, and Amay Kataria, led by Jitesh Jaggi, a Chicago based Moth award-winning storyteller.
