Please note that this month’s Third Thursday event will be held Thursday Nov 12. Join us for a conversation with Suraj Yengde on his documentary-in-progress “Summer Sky Before Sunset”

This documentary follows Dalit immigrants in Europe, among the newest entrants in European color-caste society. It traces their life and their aspirations in a conflicted multicultural Europe. Summer Sky Before Sunset traces how caste entangled with nationality, language, religion, and ethnicity — shapes identity in the diaspora in ways European institutions are only beginning to reckon with. Shot in an intimate setting of the Dalit Europeans, this documentary presents Dalit imagery in the European culture, offering an opportunity to experience fourfold interactions: Dalit women, Dalit couples, Dalit parents, and Dalit children.
