Our May edition of the Toute Bagai Lecture Series takes us to the Exchange Shiv Mandir in Couva for a special lecture exploring the history of Indians in Trinidad, the significance of the Exchange Sewala, and the role of the Tapestry Initiative in preserving and sharing community heritage.
The lecture will be delivered by Karishma Nanhu, Heritage Preservation Research Officer at the National Trust of Trinidad and Tobago and PhD candidate whose research focuses on Trinidad’s Indo-heritage and sugar production.
This is an opportunity to experience heritage where it lives: in communities, in sacred spaces, in stories, and in the places maintained across generations.
