✨ ✨

Taking a little trip back to September 20th, when our fabulous AIGSQ performers took the stage at Confederation Park! 💃🏽❤️

Aishwarya, Bhavya, Monisha, Archana and Aarchi looked absolutely gorgeous and danced their hearts out to some rocking Indian tunes. It may have been a cloudy day, but these five brought their own sunshine to the stage! ☀️🎶

Sharing a few moments from their wonderful performance for everyone who couldn’t make it. 📸

Here’s to these amazing talents; and to seeing AIGSQ shine on many more stages and platforms! ✨

Kudos, girls! You were fabulous! ❤️🇮🇳

This Independence Day (August 15, 2026), AIGSQ came together not just to celebrate India, but to celebrate the community we have built here; making new friends, bonding over food, sharing plenty of friendly banter over trivia, and most importantly, finding a little piece of home in each other while being away from home.❤️ Perhaps that is the true spirit of unity; coming together despite our differences, sharing our stories, laughing together, and making each other feel at home. ✨

A heartfelt thank you to QUIC for providing us with such a wonderful space and helping make our Independence Day celebration a success.

Here’s to the memories we made, the friendships we found, and the community we continue to build. 🇮🇳❤️

AIGSQ was honoured to be able to host a Holi event to mark the onset of Spring this year in March! On the evening of the 13th of March, many of us gathered - away from the chill and the cold, in the hopes of wishing for and welcoming a warmer and greener series of seasons ahead. We were graced with music and dance performances, and the attendees were more than happy to join in on some fun and games! We would like to thank the Ban Righ Centre for their immense support and encouragement that they provided us, and we would like to, in turn, encourage all mature women students and families to make full use of the resources that they offer! We look forward to meeting, hosting, laughing and making merry with you again in the near future!

AIGSQ is proud to have facilitated, for the Yellow House's Culture Connect Program, We-Desi: A Republic Day Meet-and-Greet, for Indian graduate students at Queen's! Held on the 25th of January, we celebrated India's Republic Day and the experiences and camaraderie that comes with being international students in a land far from home. A trivia game was arranged by Shashank Satish, that tested (far too well) our knowledge of India's history and the present, and a screening of the short film Tokri (The Basket) - all of which was rounded out by homely ethnic snacks and drinks. We look forward to hosting more such meetings, and we are deeply grateful to the Yellow House for their support and for the wonderful space that they have created for BIPOC students on campus. Here's to many more such events, and the warmth and friendships they foster!
