Opening Reception of Nostalgic Expressions

Opening Reception of Nostalgic Expressions — an evocative art and poetry event celebrating the layered realities of first-generation immigrant life.

🖼️ Nostalgic Expressions brings together a collective of nine Nepali first-generation artists, each exploring the complexities of diasporic identity through their deeply personal works. These visual stories speak to the experience of living “in between” — balancing the memories of a homeland left behind and the unfolding chapters of a new land still in the making.

🎤 The evening will also feature a special Urdu and English poetry recital by the talented Kiran Wasim, titled “Oh Des Se Aane Wale Bata.” Her moving verses reflect on the emotional landscape of migration, belonging, and becoming — resonating with the shared journey of so many.
