Sweetmeet Network
International artistic collaboration platform with LGBTIQ+ artists participating from Bangladesh and Germany. Active during the pandemic years, the Network witnessed artists and activists between the two countries explore collaborative co-making online through workshops and shared projects, as a way of fostering solidarity, intimacy and friendship at a moment of social and emotional distancing.
Collective Projects
Pop-up platform for progressive culture and politics, with a special focus on South Asia. We are based between Berlin, Germany, and Delhi, India. The word "Mohalla" translates to "neighbourhood" or "kiez", a socio-political unit that denotes the local and the immediate. "Mo'Halla" is also a mash up of "More", and "Halla", which translates to "noise of protest". Founded by Promona Sengupta, Jyothidas KV and Prabhash Tripathy.

Urgent Bodies
Urgent Bodies was founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when the isolation of individualism became paramount. As dance, theater and performance workers, deemed “inessential”, we were also recalibrating our political activist visions, where physical presence had so far been non-negotiable. In this limbo of semi-presences, we meditated on exhaustion, particularly of the marginalized, and how we could address this debilitating reality within movement work.
