Open Sesame Salon: Migration of Memory with Annu Palakunnathu Matthew

Photo-based artist Annu Palajunnathu Matthew is an Indian from India, who lives near Providence’s India Point, and uses photography to relook at histories. She will discuss her creative journey as she explored the Providence Athenaeum’s Special Collections and learned more about Rhode Island’s long history with non-white immigrants.
