Producing a festival of common interests to connect the old, new & original locals in the rapidly changing landscape of rural Goa
Urban folks from all over India flocked to Goa, particularly its villages in the North to get away from the challenges of living in a city during the lockdowns. This rapid exodus created an urgent need for social adaptation for two very different ways of life. Viva Vaddo was created as a festival or a meeting point for this new composition of the local community to get to know each other.
​
The Lion’s Club, Aldona (Goa) felicitated VivaVaddo for creating a positive impact in the region by highlighting its local people, stories and experiences.
Anonymously curating & producing an acclaimed international show in the politically charged scenario of pre-pandemic India
The Last Brahmin by Shailesh BR was the first international solo show by an Indian artist at the prestigious Villa Arson in Nice. The show was a reflection on the caste system from a never-seen-before Brahmin perspective showcasing philosophical works that took the form of machines.
​
The Last Brahmin was featured as the best shows of the season to visit in France by The Art Newspaper.
