Democracy from Below: Writing Women Back into Indian Politics
2026-03-31 16:15 - 17:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Vita Nova 100, 1030 N Columbia Ave., Scripps College, CA, 91711, United States
Most Indian women live increasingly precarious lives as they hustle for work and to sustain families in a changing India, and are rarely represented in official narratives. Drawing on her recent book, The Many Lives of Syeda X, and over a decade of reporting, award-winning writer Neha Dixit will discuss how marginalized Indian women navigate migration, neoliberal economic reforms, gendered surveillance and majoritarianism, and what it takes to tell their stories amidst shrinking media freedoms and democratic backsliding. She will also discuss how public interest journalism can bring hidden struggles back into the national conversation, document human rights violations, and revitalize democracy, with implications for India and other political contexts.

2026 Scripps College Senior Art Exhibition: Blink
2026-05-01 12:00 - 2026-05-16 17:00 | Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery, 251 E. 11th St., Claremont, 91711
The 2026 Senior Art Exhibition, Blink, brings together eight artists working across a range of media to examine the subtle structures that shape daily life, including gender performance, ecological change, inherited culture, and digital overwhelm. The exhibition takes its title from the fleeting yet transformative nature of perception, highlighting the varied ways in which individuals navigate and perceive the world.
“In a blink, everything shifts. Perception is constantly in flux; it changes with attention, with time, with who is doing the looking,” Sabrina Feld ’26, Ally Samson ’26, and Fotini Mourelatos HMC ’26. “Together, these pieces invite audiences to slow down, look closely, and sit with the discomfort of things that refuse to stay still.”
Participating artists include senior art majors Abigail Adell, Ellie Attisani, Sabrina Feld, Emma Garman, Fotini Mourelatos, Lu Nimmo, Alessandra Samson, and Kaya Savelson.
