The Nasha

The Nasha-
Concept Sketch from Khoya
the nemesis of sorts


The Rock Clan
known as 'Atut' (meaning unmovable/unbreakable in Hindi)
are the oldest creatures in Khoya.They’ve been here for millions of years.
Inherently still in nature, it is this very stillness that makes them excellent keepers of   wisdom.
 “Written in Stone”, they record the history of the universe. They are keen observers though their greatest sense is that of sensing movement and the sounds of the earth. They do not record by sight or meaning of the sound. By sensing the vibrations of the earth (because of their inherent stillness). this history is recorded not in the form of words but wave patterns...that change as they sense and record more. This process is wrongly called ‘weathering’ when infact it is just a manifestation of their internal recordings of 'what has been'.
Curious-reserved-silent and Still. Slow moving.

The following scientific experiment is inspiration to how patterns are made in the heads of the 'Atut'
sensing vibrations.
(the experiment is rather trippy as well)

Watercolour Wars


'Artivism' was started during the Fearless Karnataka campaign. The thought behind artivism is to provide an Open space where artists,designers,writers,poets and hopefully one day musicians would link up with different organizations and provide visual identity, posters or any other artform.
It attempts to be a sort of bridge between Activists and Artists who have very different mediums and contexts but a similar vision- to promote creative energy/change  rather than destructive energy. 

So this is how it works- An NGO/Campaign approaches us- and if the members or some of the members feel for the cause- they design posters and whatever else required collectively. There is no ownership. Everything is open source.print it- Burn it-stick it-make it into a tshirt- put up the poster in your city-in your room. Anything. Once its online- It belongs to everyone. :) 
One also has the right to anonymity. No one owns 'Artivism' or Runs it for that matter. 
In the long run one also hopes that one could replace all those Che Guevara T-shirts and posters with images and icons that are contextual to the space we live in. 

What you can do?
Become a contributor! post the fearless karnataka campaign there have been many many oppurtunities to provide artwork to different groups but not enough people to work on it. We need more hands.
email-  watercolourwar@gmail.com if you're interested in contributing/becoming a part of the artivism mailing list. :) 

the pinks


To (almost) 5 years of us.
a circle of absolute love and unshakeable power. Shakti.
Winedrunk,moondriven,lovestruck,peace seeking, gypsying, 
travelling inside outside-around-astound-growing-learning-freeing-overcoming-
connecting-entwining-barefoot-seeking-love-light and losenges *cough cough* 
to discovering-deciphering-tying-sharing-caring-daring-wearing and bearing. 
To nights on terraces, in studios, in cars, on beaches, on stars, in fields. 
To reinventing, growing old together to discover that we haven't changed since we were 5. :) 
To expanding, exploring, traveling, singing, crying, arguing, worrying, running away
and coming back home. To Home. To love. To shaping-shifting-becoming-whole.
to pink-to sink-to ink-to this link between. 
To change and separation (in body not soul) that had to come sometime.
Love and Luck to these 5 some of whom will (soon) take on new lives and journeys across topographic oceans.
