3. Difficult-ish
Difficult-ish is a project hosted by Mohuya and Mashnun, two young Bangladeshi-American artists, focused on deconstructing the narrative of what it means to grow up in a South Asian/Desi household, and building the idea back together using blocks from two different journeys. They will speak about topics in the South Asian/Desi community such as mental health, toxic masculinity, sexism, and more, but in a light-hearted, comedic essence that shows how understanding these ideas may not be as difficult as we believe.
