Open

Parvatha Chidambaram, the artistic director of Bharata School of Indian Dance and Music, aims to build a cultural bridge to connect heritage with contemporary lives. Her work of preserving her heritage and culture through traditional dance is one of the many reasons why she was selected as a featured woman in our Changemakers exhibit-- but we wanted to know, what does being a “Changemaker” mean to Parvatha? Check out this video to hear her thoughts 🤗In celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we’ll be putting a spotlight on the contributions of some impressive Asian and Pacific Islander Changemakers with Rochester roots. Stay tuned to learn more! #APAHM #bechangemakers

$This weekend, one of the objects we had on display in our Changemakers exhibit had some work to do! 😁 Loaned to the RMSC by Maria Maybee, one of the featured Changemakers in the exhibit, this water staff accompanies Maria during her Water Walks. These walks bring awareness to protect local water sources from nuclear waste, fracking, contamination, and pollution. In celebration of Earth Day, Maria hosted a water walk on Saturday and had this staff in hand 🤗 #HistoryInAction #ObjectsInAction #BeChangemakers$
