The Exhibit: Conceived by curator and Indofile Maggie Ball, this exhibit of memory and fantasy will delight the senses and evoke feelings of longing for times and places of transcendent beauty. It is a translation of impressions inspired by many journeys to India - a homage to the spirit of a country possessed of extraordinary beauty, esoteric philosophy and compelling contradiction. From backroads and bazaars, art, decorative craft, textiles and jewelry merge to create a magical and sacred ambience sure to inspire. Look for related events throughout the semester.

The Jayamangala Dance Company performs Indian classical temple style of dance called "Bharatanatyam" which uses strong footwork, elegant hand gestures, facial emotions and gorgeous traditional costumes to tell stories of Hindu mythology and modern interpretations in an eclectic collection of solo and group works.
