"A Thousand Blooms II"
Art Exhibition & Performances Showcase
Sunday, May 16th
5:00pm - 8:30pm
All ages event
Free, donations appreciated

Special Art Exhibit "Unveiled Courage" will explore "identity, plight, and courage of Muslim-American women under duress of wars, cultural strictures, and media disenfranchisement" from two Muslim-American artists, Saadia Khattak and Sheila Mahoutchian, who will be present for a Q&A session at 6:00pm. The evening will also include a performance by Tahir Ahmad Khan, one of South Asia's greatest masters of the Rabab, a 2000-year old Afghani tribal instrument that has been likened to "a cross between banjo, fiddle, lute and mandolin with 10 sympathetic strings for built-in reverb."
