Bloom is an interdisciplinary performance on sexual assault awareness and self-empowerment of survivors in the South Asian community through Indian classical music and dance, and spoken word. The word “bloom” inspires a safe place to grow. Premiered at the Video Studio in the Duderstadt on February 22nd, and has also been exhibited in the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) as part of the Daring Dances fellowship. The story is by an anonymous college student.
