The work of artist Siona Benjamin, originally from Bombay and now living in the U.S., reflects her background of being brought up Jewish in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim India.
Benjamin collaborates with classical Indian dancers who assume the roles of mystical characters in her work and share their hybrid and transcultural identities in a performance entitled: Rang de Nila (Color Me Blue). The performance is choreographed to Indian/Jazz/Hip-hop/Bollywood music. Benjamin will speak about her work following the performance.
Admission is free.
