Kiran Kaur is a young Sikh artist from northern California. In the video above, she discusses the role that belief plays in her life as she paints a corresponding piece of artwork:

The word, “belief”, has different connotations for each person. And for me, belief is such a beautiful word, because belief is optimism, strength, and will power. Belief allows us to be individuals in a community, celebrates diversity, and yet creates a sense of union.

This film was also featured at the Sikhlens Sikh Arts and Film Festival in southern California last November. Read more about Kiran Kaur and her painting at the Sikh Family Center.
