Join us for a screening of Americanish followed by a Q&A with writer and producer Aizzah Fatima.

Welcome to America: Where dreams come true...ish. A break from the traditional romantic comedy, Americanish highlights different layers of womanhood as they intersect with cultural and societal expectations. Americanish invites viewers into the home and lives of three marriage-aged women as they navigate the often-turbulent waters of romance, culture, career, and family. We follow the joys and tribulations of career-driven sisters Maryam and Sam Khan, and their fish-out-of-water cousin Ameera. Set in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York, the film follows a relatable and endearing storyline, offering a fresh perspective on classic rom-com tropes. Americanish delves into the complexity of trying to both honor and break from cultural traditions while balancing personal values and career goals in a society that does not always accommodate both.

Join us on December 9 from 4:00 to 5:30 PM for our first Opening Reception Art Crawl through the corridors of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts on the second floor in Blake Hall. Come see what the students in the studio art courses have created this semester!

Refreshments will be provided.
