Guided Search: Education, Bangladeshi

Co-sponsored by Crossroads Music, Sruti, and the Penn South Asia Center Harsh Narayan is a leading sarangi (Indian string instrument played with a bow) player, teacher and performer of Hindustani (north Indian classical) music.

As the role of contested spaces in the social, economic and political life of modern South Asia continues to transform vis-a-vis the expansion of global capitalism, (neo)liberal economic policies, the rise of historically marginalized political movements, transformations of the Indian economy and media, and the expansion of local and transnational organizations, this conference brings together prominent faculty engaged in re-theorizing space in an increasingly globalized region to discuss developments in the field as well as to chart future avenues for research.

Anjuthreads is pleased to invite you to the Ritz East Theater in Old City for the one-night-only Philadelphia Premier of Promise Land on June 28. The much anticipated independent film directed by Kevin Dalvi and produced by Nequa Studios and Reel Now Studios, is a funny, touching, heart-warming film about  South Asian immigrants in the United States, the people they encounter, and their unique triumphs and challenges. This film will only be playing in select cities across the US. Anjuthreads is honored to host this special night by supporting South Asian independent films and emerging filmmakers and actors.
