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.
