Clapping for culture

Also to catch up from last week, Meryl and I attended the opening of Beyond Bollywood: The Indian American Experience, the latest Smithsonian exhibit to come to Seattle. It’s also one of my favorite SITES exhibits. The Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) worked with Dr. Amy Bhatt to curate localized Pacific Northwest stories for the exhibit, she’s otherwise a professor who teaches courses on gender and globalization, South Asia, and feminism. We also got to hear from Washington’s Congresswoman, Pramilla Jayapal, about her journey here and efforts to bring the exhibit to Seattle. Mostly, it was so much fun to see people walk through the exhibit, seeing themselves, and sharing stories throughout.
