Jasmine Yadav

आज हम एक ऐसी दुनिया में जी रहे हैं जहां बहुत ज़्यादा सावधानी, डर और एक-दूसरे से बहुत दूरी है. ऐसे में हमारा शरीर भी अपनी भावनाओं को खुद में समेट कर जीना सीख गया है. क्या हो अगर हम खुद को ऐसे आकार या रूप में ढल जाने दें जिसे हम अजीब मानते हैं, नापसंद करते हैं या यहां तक की उससे नफरत करते हैं? हमारी सेक्सी लोग*, जैस्मिन यादव ने एक ऐसी वर्कशॉप तैयार की है, जिसमें हम अपने अलग-अलग "मैं" को एक साथ, एक जगह ला सकें ताकि हम, कुछ देर के लिए, एक-दूसरे को बेहतर तरीके से जान सकें. हम सामुदायिक स्तर पर काम करने वाले कार्यकर्ताओं और सामाजिक क्षेत्र से जुड़े लोगों को इसमें भाग लेने के लिए आमंत्रित करते हैं! आप नीचे दिए दो दिनों में से किसी भी दिन शामिल हो सकते हैं. रजिस्ट्रेशन करते समय अपनी पसंद की तारीख चुनें. तारीख: 10 मई (रविवार) , 3 pm - 5 pm 11 मई (सोमवार) , 3 pm - 5 pm स्थान: खुली खिड़की फोटो साभार: कस्तूरी देव चौधरी सीटें सीमित हैं। रजिस्ट्रेशन लिंक स्टोरीज़ और बायो में. *सेक्सी लोग मेंटरशिप कार्यक्रम में भारत के अलग-अलग हिस्सों से चुने गए दस लोगों ने यौनिकता को लेकर ‘मज़ा और खतरा’ विषय पर अपने अनुभवों को लेख के रूप में तैयार किया है.

In a present that bleeds overcaution, distress and distrust, our bodies have learned to keep their emotional floodgates shut. Can these floodgates survive if we allow ourselves to embody the grotesque, the unappealing, or even a hated thing? Our Sexy Log, Jasmine Yadav, has designed a workshop to access the parts of the self that we keep safely concealed. We invite community-based practitioners and folks from the social sector to participate! Sexy Log is a co-creation programme running in tandem with our ongoing edition, Pleasure and Danger. It invites perspectives that look into desire from the lens of the psyche, as something shapeshifting and contradictory. When: May 10 (Sunday), 3pm–5pm May 11 (Monday), 3pm–5pm Where: Khuli Khirkee (@khulikhirkee ) Registrations open with very limited seats. 🔗 Form link in stories + bio. 📸 Photograph courtesy: Kasturi Dev Chaudhary

In Deviant Octopus, the fear of being "too much" - too sensual, too excessive, too wild - is cracked open. Desire begins to lead the body, which grows louder, larger, and harder to contain, refusing any single shape, identity, or story. Come witness @jazzmango_ 's piece at Oddlab - a space for experimental work at Oddbird which connects artists and audiences in various stages of a piece. Tickets at the link in bio. Content note: this showing contains female nudity, viewer discretion is advised. #oddspotting [female identity, women in dance, dance sharing, live dance, dhan mill delhi, oddbird shows, oddlab at oddbird, contemporary dance in india]

Some stills from the last performance of 2025. Bijli at SAF. I hope to share more of myself and my work in 2026. In this dance, I reunite with my grandmother. I find traces of her in me. I remember her final years. It's only a beginning, a first draft which I want to revisit. I'm grateful to be able to give form to feelings of grief and emptiness which sometimes feel impossible to contain inside my body. Thank you @palebluedotter for holding my hand in this work. I have much more to share from my time in Goa. More people to thank... More stories to tell. For now, just these stunning pictures captured by @_blindingdarks_
