About Barriers: Barriers takes place four months after 9/11 and deals with the Chinese/Pakistani Abbas family, and the loss of their oldest son Nabhil at the World Trade Center. The Abbas's only daughter, Sunima, comes home to announce her pending engagement to a white man. However, Sunima’s news becomes lost in a mire of household problems and she gets trapped in the family loss they never dealt with.  As this multi-cultural family begins to fragment, we begin to piece together the past each one hides, and the future they all share. Originally mounted in 2002 at HERE and then subsequently co-produced with the Asian American Theater Company in San Francisco and Los Angeles in 2003, Barriers is returning to the stage slightly reworked to look back on the ten-year anniversary of the World Trade Center tragedy. This production is a part of HEREstay, HERE's curated rental program, which provides artists with subsidized space and equipment, as well as technical support.

Fashion for Compassion: An Evening of Runway and Heart

Honoring Renowned South Asian Designer Ranjana Khan

South Asian WOMEN designers are in the spotlight at the first-ever Fashion For Compassion runway event, presented by South Asian Young Women Entrepreneurs (SAY WE), in association with Saavn.com and media sponsor Divanee Magazine. Honoring iconic jewelry and accessories designer Ranjana Khan (designer for First Lady Michelle Obama), the fashion show will showcase the talents of other South Asian designer labels such as Pria Kataaria Puri, Amrita Singh, Atelier Azza, and Rani Emaan’s on Monday, September 12, 2011. Additionally, more than 250 crème de la crème of NYC’s fashion, entertainment, and business worlds are expected to attend this star-studded evening of decadence and charity, aimed at raising funds and awareness for Wishwas (means “faith” in Hindi), an organization that helps empower underprivileged South Asian women through entrepreneurship right here in NYC.

Ranjana Khan

For years Ranjana Khan has applied her vast knowledge of embroideries to create instantly iconic pieces of jewelry and accessories. She has become one of the world's greatest authorities on embellishments, sharing her unique insight and experience with renowned couturiers like Jean-Paul Gaultier, Alber Elbaz, and Alexander McQueen. Now, with the launch of her own collection, she speaks to an audience entirely her own. Born and raised in India, Ranjana brings Bombay to New York via Paris, the disparate influences of her life forming an aesthetic that combines hard and soft, dark and light, masculine and feminine, leather and tulle.

Ranjana subverts the entire idea of what jewelry can and cannot be. She treats precious things in an almost cavalier way—using acid and flame to achieve a desired look. There are no rules or preconceptions to her work. She applies opposing elements in striking combinations that convey an emotion or tell a story.
