ISHR congratulates Shibanee Sivanayagam on the upcoming launch of
ADI MAGAZINE, a new quarterly literary journal on policy and global affairs. Shibanee is part of a small team led by
Nimmi Gowrinathan that has been working to address the disconnect between the policy world and the populations who feel their impact most deeply. Through narrative journalism, commentary, and art, Adi Magazine celebrates voices often sidelined from mainstream western debates about foreign policy, creating a space for nuanced explorations of the world’s deepest challenges, insisting that political debates reflect lived experiences. A free launch celebration is taking place on Thursday September 26th at the People’s Forum in NYC. It’ll be a fun evening of conversation, readings, music, food and drink.
