One of the most beautiful parts of being an immigrant is making friends outside your own country.

Back in 2023, I was a Foreign Language Teaching Assistant at Michigan State University from India.
New country, new culture, friends from all over the world. We all lived together in @owen.hallgov , shared food from our home countries, and had our own little music room where memories like this were made.

When you step beyond your known circle, you get to experience a whole new world — a friend from Thailand learning a Hindi song for you, you making chai for him, and both of you bonding over things you never thought you would.

These are the moments you would never witness if you stayed in your comfort zone.

If you're new to Canada, talk to that person from a different country. Learn their story. Share yours. Some of the best memories here will come from people who are nothing like you, and that's exactly what makes it magical. ✨

Forever grateful to @fulbrightindia and
@the_fulbright_program for the wonderful memories and friends I get to have now ✨❤️

Congratulations to Nita Sahai (@uakron_engr), a Fellow in CIFAR's Earth 4D program, on being named a 2027 Fulbright-Nehru (@fulbrightindia) Distinguished Scholar!

The Fulbright-Nehru Distinguished Scholar Fellowship offers U.S. faculty the opportunity to teach, conduct research or combine both activities at an Indian institution.

As part of her fellowship, Sahai will investigate how protometabolism emerged before life and enzymes. The project brings together microbiologist Amitesh Anand (@tifrscience, Mumbai) and chemist Sudha Rajmani (@iiser.pune) to explore one of the fundamental questions about the origins of life.

Concept drawing of Surface Accumulation Sleeve, from the Ganges Water Machine project, Anthony Acciavatti, 2005-2016. On display at the new V&A East in the ‘Why We Make Gallery’ on the first floor.

First exhibited at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts in New Delhi in 2006 as part of the Indian Enigmas show organized by Fulbright, the drawing has been shown at the Rhode Island School of Design, Nehru Centre in Mumbai, Pan American Architecture Biennale in Quito, National Institute of Hydrology, and Harvard University.

Just as spiderman shoots a web from his wrist, the Surface Accumulation Sleeve shoots a roll of packaging tape from the wearer’s wrist for a kilometer perpendicular to the edge of a river.

The tape collects soils and other cultural detritus ranging from hair follicles and auto parts to fecal matter and plastic bottles. When done several hundred times, the rolls of tape are three-dimensional ethnographies of soils and watersheds.

The most meaningful educational exchanges are not about showcasing best practices, they are about questioning, reflecting, and learning together.

Kotak Education Foundation recently hosted educators from the Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms (TGC) Program, USA, for a week-long engagement across Mumbai.

Demonstrating leadership in cross-cultural diplomacy, Indian Fulbright Alumna Jayasree Ramesh, COO Kotak Education Foundation successfully hosted global educators to foster international teaching excellence.

From leadership discussions and classroom observations to interactions with teachers, students, and school communities, the exchange explored a fundamental idea: while education systems differ in context, they are united by a common purpose - to create meaningful learning experiences for every child.

These conversations reaffirmed that innovation in education is not defined by geography. It emerges through collaboration, openness, and the willingness to learn from one another.

As education continues to evolve globally, partnerships like these strengthen our collective capacity to build more inclusive, equitable, and future-ready learning ecosystems.

We extend our gratitude to the Fulbright educators, IREX, USIEF, our partner schools, and everyone who contributed to this cross-cultural learning experience.

This is a selection of posters from lectures I gave during my Fulbright in India in Fall 2024.

At a time when war, polarization, displacement, and competing narratives shape our world, what is the responsibility of the artist? Can art bear witness, challenge injustice, and help us recognize the humanity of those too often reduced to statistics or ideology?

As a Full Professor of Art at George Mason University, artist, author, TEDx speaker, and two-time Fulbright-Nehru Scholar, I have developed a lecture that explores how artists of the 20th and 21st centuries have used their work to confront war, violence, oppression, memory, and loss while creating space for dialogue, reflection, empathy, and hope. Drawing on more than four decades of artistic practice, teaching, exhibitions, and international cultural exchange, I invite audiences to consider the role art can play in deepening understanding across cultural, political, and ideological boundaries.

If your university, museum, cultural institution, or organization would be interested in hosting this lecture, I would welcome the opportunity to join your community in this conversation and help create a space for dialogue, reflection, and human understanding.
