Blue Like Me: The Art of Siona Benjamin

image DATE: March 1, 2016
TIME: 5:30 pm
LOCATION: Dedman Life Sciences Building 110

Siona Benjamin, a painter originally from Bombay now living in the U.S., will discuss her work and how it reflects her background of being raised as a Jew in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim India. Her paintings combine the imagery of her past with the role she plays in America today, making a mosaic inspired by Indian miniature painting and Judeo-Spanish icons.
