A Culture Marker: The Story of K?lam in Natick Center
Wednesday, June 1 at 7:00 pm on Zoom
How did K?lam, a ritualistic floor art practiced by generations of Tamil Hindu women across South India, find its way to Natick Center? Join us for a conversation with Swati Dave to learn more about this beautiful art form and how its presence in Natick nurtures a sense of identity and belonging in our community. Swati Dave, a long-time resident of Natick, has been the Chair of Natick Cultural Council and is currently a board member of Natick Center Cultural District, SPARK Kindness, and Natick is United. This free event will be held on Zoom and is jointly sponsored by the Bacon Free Library and the Natick Historical Society. Advanced registration is required; please register here.
