This exhibit presents a series of excerpts from oral histories and interviews with individuals from the Himalayan region reflecting on their transition to life in the United States, particularly New York City. Through these accounts, the exhibit examines how migration reshaped Himalayan relationships to identity, community, labor, religion, and ideas of home. These stories describe the difficulties of adjusting to life in the city, including experiences of economic pressure, cultural separation, and uncertainty, while also documenting the forms of connection and support individuals found after migration. Many of these reflections focus on neighborhoods such as Jackson Heights, considering the ways in which the diaspora in Queens has built a network over time. These stories show how individuals within the diaspora negotiated changes in their daily lives and reconsidered aspects of their identities while building new relationships and communities in New York.
