Blue Like Me: The Art of Siona Benjamin

We are happy to announce the start of our Kickstarter campaign, Blue Like Me: The Art of Siona Benjamin. This documentary is about an extraordinary artist with a fascinating back-story: Siona is a Jew raised in India, educated by nuns and Zoroastrian teachers, brought up alongside Hindu, Christian and Muslim neighbors. Her art expresses universal issues--feminism, race, a sense of home, and one’s identity—that resonate within each of us.
