Premier members are invited to the Opening Celebration for Suchitra Mattai: she walked in reverse and found their songs.
Indo-Caribbean artist Suchitra Mattai unravels stories of the past to imagine new futures. Deeply influenced by the history of her ancestors—brought from India to work as indentured laborers in Guyana—she works with materials that honor the labor of women and uses techniques passed down through generations.
