Environment, Art, and Race: an evening with Monica Jahan Bose and Leena Jayaswal   

Wednesday, May 29th, 7:00 pm-9:00 pm

Please join us for a special evening of short films, an art book, and discussion with Washington DC-based filmmakers and artists Monica Jahan Bose and Leena Jayaswal. They will screen films that look at climate change through the lens of the Storytelling with Saris art project, including the 2017 Paris engagement called Deux Degres (Two Degrees).  Monica will also present her new art book, Rising Up to Climate Change: Storytelling with Saris, featuring dozens of photographs and film stills.  As a special bonus, we will also see an excerpt from “Mixed,” an upcoming film by Leena Jayaswal and Caty Borum Chattoo, exploring what it means to be mixed-race in America, fifty years after the landmark US Supreme Court Decision Loving v. Virginia, which made interracial marriage legal. The films and discussion will be followed by a wine reception. 

This program is made possible by a Sister Cities Grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, which is supported in part by the US National Endowment on the arts.
