South Asian Perspective Workshop

Ages 5+

Join us for a fun and interactive activity inspired by the art of Grishma Shah, a painter, and psychologist who shares stories through her paintings. Grishma’s art explores how we see beauty in different identities. In this program, we’ll think about how our bodies change and what beauty means to us. Through art, we’ll explore how we can build a more inclusive community.  Children will celebrate the beautiful parts of themselves—both the inner qualities that never change and the external traits that may change over time. Join us for a fun time where we celebrate diversity.

Dr. Grishma Shah's art exhibit, South Asian Perspectives, is on display in the Commons at the Central branch for the month of January.

Dr. Grishma Shah is a psychologist, filmmaker, and artist based in Chicago. A self-taught painter immersed in culture from her South Asian roots, Grishma pursued careers in psychology and public health while also engaging her true passion in the visual arts. With various accolades and certificates from the University of Illinois, National Louis University, and Harvard University, her work focuses on understanding and influencing cultural shifts through authentic storytelling. Many of her clients are located in Hollywood and work in the entertainment industry.
