Our next Gallery Spotlight features South Asian artists Asma Mahmud Hashmi, Sadaf Naeem, and the late Mohammad Yasin, who all lived and studied in Hawaiʻi as art students. Asma and Sadaf will share how their experiences in Hawaiʻi have shaped their work. The event also premieres a musical performance by Brooklyn-based violinists Trina Basu and Arun Ramamurthy of Brooklyn Raga Massive, specially composed as a tribute to Mohammad Yasin.
