Artist Lecture: The Art of Nidhi Chanani

Artist Nidhi Chanani's debut graphic novel Pashmina will be released by First Second Books in October 2017. Pashmina tells the story of Priyanka Das, an Indian-American teenage girl. Born in Calcutta and raised in suburban southern California, Chanani's own experiences inspired Priyanka's story. 

This lecture is presented for the Baker-Nord Humanities Festival, a collaborative event celebrating the great cultural institutions of the city of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio dedicated to humanistic inquiry. The 2017 Cleveland Humanities Festival will explore from a humanistic perspective the impact of immigration across time and within our own time through a series of coordinated events, including lectures, exhibits, theatrical performances, academic symposia, tours, and films.
