Join us for a discussion with journalist, writer, and broadcaster Aarti Betigeri as she discusses her newly released book, Growing Up Indian in Australia.

About the book

"To be Indian growing up in Australia is to tread the narrow line between here and there, to constantly code-switch and navigate between filling the needs and aspirations of your family, your community – and yourself.

The Embroiderers’ Guild NSW invited its members to embark on a creative journey, imagining themselves aboard a spaceship on a magical mystery tour of the universe.

The result? A stunning collection of embroidered masterpieces!

Drawing inspiration from the wonders of the cosmos—orbiting planets, glowing moons, dazzling nebulae, and countless stars—artists let their imaginations soar. They also incorporated man-made marvels like the International Space Station and satellites into their intricately handcrafted works.
