Who holds the key to our visibility?
Who unlocks the ways in which we will be seen or not seen?
This year the TransDayofVisibility holds a special relevance.
The law goes far.
Memory, further.
Then there are our own need to hide and reveal.
I explore in this piece -Hide of my hide.

Deeply thankful to for collaborating on this with her glorious artwork- part of the collection, Sediments (2019).

We all arrive into our transness in unique ways yet the journey is a shared one, an incandescent overlap of paths.

I hope to keep mapping.

To our q***r delights and griefs.

Firsts are always special.

What a delight it has been to conceive this design, the interspersing of narratives and creating layers with anonymity.

As always, my dear dekhne aur sunane waalon, there will be music, drama, some shared joys and griefs, and of course, Sakina, whose story is central to it all- Whale P**p and other distractions.

It has been a pleasure bringing alive Episode 1 of Salon of the Anonymous!
Thank you 🥰

House opens today evening at 6.30 pm at, you guessed it, friends of oddbird festival at oddbird theatre.

Aaiye, aaiye! Rulaayenge kya? Wo to hamara kaam hai, nahi?
