“Nourish” Exhibition Closing

<div class="ai1ec-event-avatar alignleft timely"><img src="https://storytellingwithsaris.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screenshot-2023-10-31-at-8.53.45 PM-300x223.png" width="300" height="223" /></div>Please stop by for the final day of “Nourish: Storytelling with Saris”! Monica Jahan Bose will be there during gallery hours from noon to 4 pm and will be happy to give you a tour of the exhibition. Nourish: Storytelling with Saris Location: The Nicholson Project, 2310 Nicholson Project SE, Washington DC, Bus B2 and many others Exhibition Dates: September 10-November 4, 2023 Gallery Hours: Wednesdays 2-6pm + Saturdays 12 noon – 4pm <a href="http://chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/http://storytellingwithsaris.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/washington-post-review-nourish-October-26-2023.pdf">Link to Washington Post Review.</a> Nourish: Storytelling with Saris is an installation of video, drawings, poems, saris, and kanthas inspired by plants and herbs. Touching the soil and growing food are grounding and nourishing. For the last two years, Bangladeshi-American artist Monica Jahan Bose and DC participants in her Storytelling with Saris project have been connecting with the soil and Earth and food justice issues by nurturing plants on windowsills and planting neighborhood vegetable gardens. This year they planted and harvested in the garden at The Nicholson Project. Bose led a series of planting workshops that included poetry and art inspired by soil and plants. Using performance, sari art, writing, and film, Storytelling with Saris, which commenced in 2012, links DC residents with Bangladeshi coastal women farmers in solidarity to address climate and food injustice. There is a concurrent exhibition by Stephanie J. Williams. Monica Jahan Bose bio: Monica Jahan Bose is a Bangladeshi-American artist and climate activist whose work spans painting, printmaking, film, performance, and public art. Her socially engaged work highlights the intersection of climate, racial, gender, and economic injustice through co-created workshops, art actions, and temporary installations and performances. Bose uses the sari — a precolonial 18-foot-long unstitched garment that is always recycled and never discarded — to represent women’s lives and the cycle of life on our planet. She has exhibited her work extensively in the US and internationally (20 solo shows, numerous group exhibitions, and more than 25 performances) including solo exhibitions at the Bangladesh National Museum and MACRO Museum of Contemporary Art Rome. Her ongoing collaborative project STORYTELLING WITH SARIS with women farmers from her ancestral island village has travelled to 10 states and seven countries and engaged thousands of people. Her work has appeared in the Miami Herald, the Washington Post, Art Asia Pacific, the Milwaukee Sentinel, the Honolulu Star Advertiser, the Japan Times, and all major newspapers in Bangladesh. She has a BA in the Practice of Art (Painting) from Wesleyan University, a post-graduate Diploma in Art from Santiniketan, India, and a JD from Columbia Law School. This project was supported by the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities.America/New_York

Darchira River film screening

<div class="ai1ec-event-avatar alignleft timely"><img src="https://storytellingwithsaris.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Imports-2-of-5-300x167.jpeg" width="300" height="167" /></div>Join artist/filmmaker Monica Jahan Bose for the DC premiere of “Darchira River,” a new performance film. The film is based on a performance about cimate change let by Monica in Katakhali Village, Bangladesh, on the banks of the Darchira River, which has been destroyed by climate change. The stunning footage shows women farmers of the village engage in singing, writing, and rituals towards healing climate change. In this ecofeminist work, the women reframe a Muslim ritual of writing wishes, into a feminist ritual of hope and renewal, using writing, turmeric and water. The film features village women’s oral tradition songs along with an original score by DC musician and sound designer Sonia Herrero. Cinematography: Shefali Akhter Shetu. Editing: Shefali Akhter Shetu and Monica Jahan Bose. Join us at lunchtime on Friday for the DC premiere at Artomatic. Running time 20 minutes, followed by Q&A with artist Artomatic, Friday, April 19 at 12:15 pm, 6th floor 2100 M St NW, Washington, DC (metro; Dupont Circle)America/New_York
