“The Fulbright experience has transformed my research, art and life forever. With the help of the Fulbright fellowship I conducted a 4-month project to explore and reveal the various
Indian Jewish faces of India in a visual art exhibition. The goals of this project are to
raise awareness about the long-standing history of the Indian Jewish communities in India
and document, using photography and painting, the individual faces and stories of this
ancient group and their heritage before their existence becomes a cultural relic of India.”
