In this new solo exhibit, Making My Voice Visible, at the Cherrydale Library, Arlington artist and founder of Studio PAUSE, Sushmita Mazumdar, focuses on the early works from her first artist project, Handmade Storybooks, launched in 2007. She had taught herself to write stories from her childhood in India so her American children could learn how wonderfully different lives could be.

She shares several original storybooks from that collection. Other works are reimagined, engaging with some of her early storybooks, retelling the stories through mixed media using old and new photos, collage, and other techniques indicative of her current work.
