About the Event
Join the author of Citizen by Descent, Kritika Arya for an informal meet and greet over coffee.
Citizen by Descent is a collection of autobiographical essays exploring themes of home, mental health, identity, and the unique experiences of a third-culture kid. Born in Dubai, educated in the UK, and now in India, the book chronicles a life in constant motion, searching for roots amidst the journeys. Each essay is brought to life by stunning illustrations from a diverse group of international artists; from Gaurav Ogale to Hanifa A. Hameed to Anushkha Advani to Ichraq Bouzidi (to name a few). Through introspective essays set in different homes, the book offers a relatable narrative for those seeking growth and self-discovery.
