Join guest curator Saloni Mahajan alongside a panel of saree wearers representing the Indian, Nepali, and Bangladeshi diaspora. Together, the panelists will explore the saree not merely as a garment or museum artifact, but as a living, breathing archive of personal memory, migration, and cultural resilience.
