McNEESE STATE UNIVERSITY
McNeese’s Women and Gender Studies Lecture Series is hosting “Journey of an Artist” presented by Sajeela Siddiq. She holds degrees in Business and Art and is a Master of Fine Art in painting candidate at the University of Houston. Themes of “duality” and a search for “belonging” are inextricably woven throughout Sajeela’s life and work, informed by her perspective as a multilingual Pakistani immigrant. Her art beautifully expresses reflections on East and West, masculine and feminine, light and dark, and ancient and modern. Compelled to capture both the nuances of humanity’s faceted inner landscape as well as the raw intricacies of the industrial landscapes, maps, and language, Sajeela defies the confines of a single perspective.
The free presentation will be on Wednesday, March 15, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the McNeese Room of Frazar Memorial Library for lunch during the event or join us via Zoom. Event updates and Zoom link will be posted to the McNeese Write to Excellence Facebook page.
