Why Stained Golden?
Stained Golden came about through a series of twists and turns. In the beginning of 2018, I wrote a piece that, without my knowing it at the time, changed my life. I wrote and in doing so, found my place within my confused cultural identity as a first-generation.
No matter how disconnected or far I felt from my roots, I, a first generation Indian-American, would always eat with my hands. Being stained golden is to say, we can’t wash away parts of ourselves because they aren’t meant to leave, in fact, perhaps ironically so, they are what make us golden.
WHAt is Stained golden?
As of this moment, Stained Golden is a portfolio of my (Priya Lasrado) work, both solo & collaborative.
I qualify with “as of this moment” because like all good art, community and connectivity are the focus of both this site and the pieces in it. This is a place for people to come and cling to their roots, let go of their past, and most importantly feel their feelings. Feel our feelings.
