NIAMuseum’’s Desi Roots and Wings exhibit is about the Indian American experience in America through the centuries since the first immigrants and settlers came here in the early 17th century. The exhibit is divided into two parts – Desi Roots which showcases the original voices and stories of Indian settlers in the US through WWI. Wings which documents narratives from WWI to present day and beyond.
 .
The goal of DRW is to take charge of the Indian American narrative and showcase the history of our diaspora to learn and understand the dynamics of immigration as well as preserve the original stories for future generations.
Phase I of DRW is in the works and expected to launch May 2024. Watch this space for more teasers and exciting snippets from the development of the Wings Exhibit at NIAM
