Nine years and almost a day in between... To return to love through the minefields of trauma and dysfunction. I have discovered some sparkling moments mommy and I'm gonna hold on to them... I miss you badly and feel you closely and am able to be in between and breathe...🧡
Every month the full moon day is the time for our gathering to read the buddha and his dhamma and share songs, dances and food. This full moon day is special as it's the Buddha Poornima... Our summer camps started and we performed all the new dances we learned from the very talented @antonyjanagi We also spoke about the history of May Day

"The light of reason which guided me through the treacherous path of being a dalit and an artist in a casteist world.
Happy Buddha Poornima and my gratitude to Babasaheb for holding my hand and reaching me to the Grace and wisdom of Buddha"
Neelam Cultural Centre's Vaanam art festival has made the Dalit History Month of April an important cultural part of Chennai. By bringing in fabulous anti caste artists from across the country this year's arts show attracted a lot of people and some stellar guests as well. Conversations sparked and dialogues opened up and the ripe silence that prevailed at moments made the whole story an unforgettable one
With the very talented @osheen.siva an artist who's captivated me in recent times 💙 Osheen showed her works at The Whole Story art show of @neelamartscollective as part of @vaanam_art_festival and visited the Gallery on the last day of the show with her Father. Wishing more colour and passion to her journeys ✨
