“Konjam rendu vartha ezhudalama?” ✍️✨ There’s a tiny little jar sitting quietly at Backyard now. Not asking for anything big. Just two words maybe. A thought. A feeling. A confession. A joke. Something you were carrying around all day. A place for strangers to leave little pieces of themselves behind softly 🌙 No pressure. No perfect writing. No need to make sense. Maybe someone writes: “miss home.” Maybe someone writes: “finally healing.” Maybe someone just draws a smiley face and leaves. And somehow, all of it belongs here. 🤍 An initiative by Sai Sruthi @__.ss5.__ , now at Backyard ✨ If you see the jar… maybe write something. Consider this your sign. 📍Backyard, Adyar @thebackyardclan #BackyardChennai #ChennaiSpaces #CommunitySpaces #ArtInstallation #adyar

Monthly Muse by @the_potato.eater.co @the_chaos.club is not just a workshop ✨🎨 Every month, the session dives into the world of one artist from art history, their style, their process, their colours, their little creative obsessions 🌿📚 People spend the evening exploring their work, talking about it, and creating pieces inspired by that artist in their own way. Part art history session, part creative gathering, part “wait… maybe I can paint” energy 🎨🌿 Every month at @thebackyardclan ! #chennai #chennaidiaries #chennaievents #art #artlover

We absolutely loved doing this and can’t wait to host more creative experiences in Chennai & Bangalore . If you've been wanting to try something new, meet creative people, and make art in the sweetest atmosphere - come join us!

Somewhere along the way, hustle culture convinced people that success had to look exhausting. That building something meaningful had to come with burnout, noise, pressure, and the constant need to prove yourself. But some of the best ideas are born differently. They begin from long conversations over coffee, scribbles on notebooks, from people sitting beside each other without needing to perform. From artists staring at walls for inspiration. In founders rethinking everything at 4 pm. In strangers becoming collaborators by accident. Backyard was never built to feel like a corporate coworking space. It was built for the people in-between. The thinkers, the creators, the freelancers, the students, the artists, the dreamers, the ones trying to figure things out one conversation at a time. A space where ambition can exist softly too. Where heart matters as much as hustle. And where maybe, just maybe, that’s enough to create something beautiful. 📍 Backyard, Chennai @thebackyardclan

The best ideas often come from unfiltered conversations, not polished presentations. That’s exactly what we’re building with The Samosa Society. 📍 May 24 A keynote session designed around real insights people can actually take back to work and life. More soon. Stay tuned. #TheSamosaSociety #CommunityBuilding #IndustryInsights #ProfessionalNetworking

On our walls this month: works by @jananyaramesh ✍️ She is an aspiring innovator orbiting content, food, music, and community, because staying in one lane feels like under-utilising the highway. She says she is a self-confessed math dummy. She is oddly attached to the symbol u (mu) - tiny, almost dismissible, yet carrying disproportionate depth. Most of her ideas behave exactly like that: they enter quietly and then refuse to leave. She relies heavily on reflective analogies shamelessly borrowed from my own life. Truth, she has noticed, lands better when it feels personal before it feels profound. 📍At Backyard, we’ve always believed walls should do more than decorate a room. They should hold conversations. Memories. Questions. Stories people were once told to shrink. These poems sit across our space like fragments of lived experience: Subtle first. Sharp later. As you walk through Backyard this week, pause for the details. Read the words closely. Sit with the feelings they leave behind. 🎞️🖋️ Because sometimes art does not ask to be understood immediately. Sometimes it simply asks to be witnessed! #chennai #chennaidiaries #poem #literature #art

On our walls this month: works by @paramu.san 🏳️‍🌈 A Chennai-based queer multidisciplinary artist working across digital art, poetry, mixed media, and traditional forms, creating pieces that carry resistance, vulnerability, grief, identity, tenderness, and quiet defiance all at once. Their work does not speak about queer existence as an abstract idea, but as something lived, survived, remembered, and celebrated. Every piece holds honesty. Sometimes discomfort. Sometimes softness. Always courage. 📍At @thebackyardclan , we’ve always believed walls should do more than decorate a room. They should hold conversations. Memories. Questions. Stories people were once told to shrink. These artworks sit across our space like fragments of lived experience : part protest, part poetry, part liberation. As you walk through Backyard this week, pause for the details. Read the words closely. Sit with the feelings they leave behind. 🎞️🖋️ Because sometimes art does not ask to be understood immediately. Sometimes it simply asks to be witnessed. #chennai #chennaidiaries #art #queerart #poetry
