About the project
Using performance and filmmaking not only for ethnographic documentation of Intangible Cultural Heritage, but also as a platform for imagining and intervening in futures. As anthropologists, we work with rural communities in North India in facilitating spaces where people of different genders, religions, castes and classes can come together to address social issues through vocal traditions.
