HGSE's Multicultural Festival

Last Friday was HGSE's Multicultural Festival. The night consisted of cultural food, music, friends, and performances. 

Our campus is somewhat diverse, particularly because of the many international students. It was beautiful to see so many different cultures represented in one place on one evening. The event was held in the floor level of our department library. 
Standiing in line: Platanos fritos, fresh guacamole, chow main,  samosas...
were some of the highlights of my dinner that night

So many people. This is the table I sat at with my new CULTURAL friends

The Colombian Table!

My friend Hethal, making henna tattoos at the
 South Asian Student Association Table

Capoeira Performance- I actually want to join the club now 

HGSE A Capella Choir performing songs around the world

Traditional Chinese Dance "Little Peacock"


Harvard Banghra performing

The rest of the evening was open floor dancing. 

I think the last photo captures the evening well. We made a big circle and danced to different music. Here is an image of my friend Mayte (in her Bolivian Folklore Outfit) dancing with a little girl getting photographed by an international student from India in the center of a giant dance circle.

Fun Times.

Till next time.
