Today once again Audrey, Nikita, and I updated each other where we are now and what we are working on for the GiT Photo-exhibition project. We have 2 new additions and soon there will be more.😊
2 New Additions: Audio recording of the short text by Nikita; and Traditional Newari Wedding Music from me. We are now working on the questions (sent by Pennings for getting to know us, spouses, better). Also, we are collecting pictures of items connected to wedding as well as our life in the Netherlands.

Today we, Audrey, Laura, Nikita and I, updated each other on what we have received so far and discussed what’s next.

Thank you, Audrey, Nikita, and Viviana, for joining in today and sharing your ideas. Today was a very productive step towards our next step to preparation and planning.🤗🙏
We visited the Pennings Foundation, met Anke, Irma and Maxime from the foundation. They gave us a tour of the space where we will be having our project. Then, together we all explored over the things and ideas that could be incorporated during the Photo-exhibition. For instance, photos on Wedding rituals, displaying something connected to the wedding, recording our story, and others.

Of course, more deta…... Read More
