As Vice President Kamala Harris took office this week, many people in the Bay Area and across the country celebrated by collectively creating a kolam, a traditional South Indian art form used as a sign of welcome and new beginnings.
Harris, an East Bay Area native, is the first woman of Black and South Asian descent to hold the vice presidency. The artwork honoring her Indian heritage, consisting of hundreds of pieces submitted by the public, was part of the digital inaugural ceremonies for Harris and President Biden on Wednesday.
