DesiFest at the Eugene's August First Friday ArtWalk

Celebrate the rich tapestry of the South Asian diaspora’s cultural contributions through dance, music, film, and visual storytelling with Oregon DesiFest! Exhibitions and showcases include: the installation “Echoes of the Diaspora: Threads of Memory and Movement;” dance demonstrations featuring Odissi, Bharatnatyam, Kathak, and Bollywood Hip Hop; live tabla and sitar performances; and sacred geometry of Tamil kōlam and Tibetan-and Nepal-inspired mandalas. The evening culminates with Paramita, a powerful short film by Kirthi Nath that beautifully intertwines spiritual and cultural reflections. www.paramitafilm.com
