SUMMARY:The Art of Cosmopolitanism in Premodern Kerala
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to have Dr. Arati Menon present on a topic that previously has not been explored by SAAC – the art and architecture of Kerala. \nSince antiquity\, Kerala on the Malabar Coast of southwestern India has served as a beacon for merchant ships. A confluence of factors\, including Kerala’s fortuitous position in the Indian Ocean mercantile network\, abundant export of spices\, and partnerships rooted in diplomacy and trade\, engendered a regional milieux of multicultural cosmopolitanism and a shared artistic vocabulary across religions. This talk examines architectural and sculptural similitude in Kerala’s premodern churches\, mosques\, synagogues\, and temples\, the agency of local artisans\, and the roles played by rulers\, merchants\, and religious leaders to present a history of art and cosmopolitanism on the Malabar Coast \nLook forward to seeing you virtually at the event.

SUMMARY:Nursing Services – What you ought to know
DESCRIPTION:Nursing services are crucial to our community but often go unnoticed. For the first time\, CWC is addressing this vital need\, particularly focusing on the elderly population. The upcoming webinar will highlight the significant role of nurses in health monitoring\, chronic disease management\, and supportive care. It will also emphasize the importance of education and self-advocacy\, aiming to equip the elderly with the knowledge and tools to navigate their healthcare journey effectively.\nThis comprehensive approach ensures that the elderly receive attentive and personalized care\, thereby fostering a healthier community. Key takeaways from the webinar include understanding the importance of early healthcare recognition\, adopting healthy living practices\, advocating for oneself in healthcare settings\, and preventing infections within senior community environments.\nWe are honored to have two esteemed speakers\, Dr Veena Vangari and Dr Sejal Naik\, from the Bay Area Indian Nurses Association (BAINA). BAINA’s vision is to empower nurses by enhancing cultural identity and contributing to the health and well-being of individuals\, families\, and communities.\nApp link : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/khushi-cwc/id1609421508\nhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mycwc
