What happens when you blend Arabic calligraphy with Hindu iconography? This week on Immigrantly, host Saadia Khan sits down with artist, chaplain, and designer Sangeetha Kowsik, the visionary behind Ihsan Ishan Design. From working with Jennifer Lopez and leading design at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to becoming a Hindu chaplain at NYU, Sangeetha’s journey is a testament to spiritual pluralism and creative defiance. She discusses growing up in a multifaith, multicultural environment, challenging Islamophobia in museum spaces, and creating art that bridges faiths, not just for Hindus and Muslims, but for anyone who believes that beauty and compassion are universal languages. Whether you are religious, spiritual, or simply curious, this episode will leave you thinking differently about sacred spaces, inclusive art, and the power of design.
