Student Group Spotlight: Afghanistan Caucus at the Harvard Kennedy School

Student Group Spotlight: Afghanistan Caucus at the Harvard Kennedy School

This academic year, there are two new Afghan student groups on campus: the Afghanistan Caucus at Harvard Kennedy School and the Harvard Afghan Students’ Association at Harvard College. The Mittal Institute spoke with Sal Parsa, co-founder of the Afghanistan Caucus, about their inaugural event on February 20 and further plans to foster a sense of unity and purpose among Afghan students and alumni.

Artistic Expression, from South Asia to Cambridge: Welcoming Our New Visiting Artist Fellows

Artistic Expression, from South Asia to Cambridge: Welcoming Our New Visiting Artist Fellows

The Mittal Institute welcomed two new Visiting Artist Fellows, Cop Shiva and Garima Gupta, to campus for the start of their eight-week research fellowship at Harvard. The program allows mid-career visual artists from around South Asia to spend eight weeks on the Harvard campus. The VAF differs from a typical artist residency program in that it is research-centered, providing artists with the vast resources of Harvard’s intellectual community to enhance their artistic practice.

Cop and Garima share more about their artistic motivations below. And save the date to join them at the Mittal Institute’s Visiting Artist Fellows Art Exhibition on Tuesday, October 10, where they will share more of their work with our community.
