SAWCC has re-launched its salon-style meetings for creative South Asian women. These meetings are a space for nurturing our community and the informal sharing of creative projects or works-in-progress. This is our space to get up close and personal with fellow creative women and share our multi-disciplinary artistic visions and processes. We are hosting the salon on a quarterly basis at the Asian American Writers Workshop.
The salon is open to South Asian women artists, creative professionals and arts enthusiasts. If you are interested in presenting at a future salon event, please contact us via: salon@sawcc.org.
The presenters are Padmini Devi Narumanchi and Akansha Rastogi.
