EXHIBITION OPENING: Beyond Borders – The Art of Siona Benjamin

April 20, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

The identity of Siona Benjamin, an Indian-American-Jewish artist, is layered and multi-faceted, just like her artwork. Raised as a Jew and a member of the Bene Israel community in largely Hindu and Muslim Mumbai, Benjamin addresses inclusion and exclusion through her art, and considers and challenges perceptions about culture, race, and religion. In crossing boundaries and building bridges, she asks viewers to do the same.

Thursday, April 20 at 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm ET

5:30 pm ET | Reception (in-person only).
6:15 pm ET | Siona Benjamin takes us “Beyond Borders” with an illustrated talk about her artistic journey to this deeply personal and wide-ranging body of work. In-person and via Livestream.

Registration required.
