Homage to Ray – Sharmila Tagore, Mamata Shankar & Suman Ghosh in conversation

Bay Area Prabasi celebrates its 50th year in 2023, with a cadence of several cultural, philanthropic and educational programs, to celebrate Bengali history, culture, literature and arts. The grand kickoff will be a two-day event held on April 29th and 30th in the SF Bay Area.

Over these two days, we are arranging a series of programs to honor two legends of Bengal – Rabindranath Tagore and Satyajit Ray for their invaluable contribution to our art and culture. They are cultural icons who have put Bengali culture on the global map and have become an integral part of the Bengali cultural identity. Their works have stood the test of time and continue to be relevant today, inspiring new generations of artists and cultural enthusiasts. Celebrating them is a way of honoring Bengal’s rich heritage and ensuring that their legacy continues to inspire generations to come.

Goals
Celebrate the original members and founders whose vision led to the creation of this awesome diaspora organization.
Provide a platform for current and potential members to come together and connect with their cultural roots, to celebrate the bond that ties us together – our language and culture.
Establish BAPI as THE eminent Bengali community organization of the Bay Area by launching impactful initiatives in philanthropy and community development.
Foster a sense of community and identity among the current and next generation of Bengalis and inspire them to come together to build the Prabasi of the next 50 years.
