Join us for a special collaboration poetry reading with SWWIM x Matwaala featuring Nina Sudhakar + Carolene Kurien.

In honor of our 10th anniversary, we are delighted to announce a partnership with Matwaala, which is also celebrating a decade of supporting writers.

Matwaala was launched in 2015 to increase the visibility of diasporic South Asian poets (from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Afghanistan) in the mainstream American literary landscape. The name Matwaala in a transferred sense suggests the intoxication of poetic creativity. Matwaala showcases the diversity within the South Asian community—and within the Indo-American community.

Presented in partnership with The Betsy Hotel, SWWIM and MATWAALA, and with support from the Jorge Perez Family Foundation CreARTE Grant. 

Free to attend, but your RSVP is requested.
