Artists Include:

Sylvat Aziz, will examine through painting and sculpture, cultural customs and practices where invasive personal manipulation extends to thought, usuallly along gender, class and blood lines.

Noni Kaur, installation artist, will create a ground sculpture using traditional techniques and exploring subjects and female sexuality, sensuality and the cultural attitudes around them.

Anita Katakkar, musician, will create underlying melodic and rhythmic loops on a keyboard and play a mixture of contemporary grooves and classical compositions and tabla.

Sudarshan Belsare, dancer and video installation artist, will present a black and white video loop of a dance performance that integrates his bold and edgy approach, dexterity and technical virtuosity.

Puja Amin, dancer, will present a collage of Indian dance with swift beats and resonating voices that meld the enticing rhythms of traditional and modern-day India.
