HEART ON MY LEAVES:

WESTERN TRADITIONS, FAMILY CELEBRATIONS, AND THE IMMIGRANT DIASPORA EXPERIENCE

With Caryn Wei Ya Xie + Meenakashi Ghadial

April 17, 2024, 6pm
Free + in-person roundtable discussion
Open to all

Both Meenakashi Ghadial and Caryn Wei Ya Xie’s paintings involve themes of family gatherings, informed by their practice sifting through vast archives of family photos.

In this roundtable discussion led by Meenakashi and Caryn, participants are invited to discuss memories of tradition and celebration shared across the diasporic experience of immigrant families. Here, we reflect on both “moments gone, and moments cherished.” Participants are asked to bring in objects, mementos, photos, or even foods that remind them of their experiences within this identity. Ex. photos, jewelry, heirlooms, clothing. Please be aware that the artists will be burning incense in this space.
