Fifteen years ago, when Sanjay Garg established the clothing brand of Raw Mango, he was driven with the belief of making a dent by celebrating something very common and everyday to the people of India: sarees. Their new collection, Sooti, embraces cotton sarees on the brand’s longstanding friend, filmmaker Kiran. Rao playfully models the cotton sarees, expressing her innate goofiness and the journey that has led her to become who she is today—giving a sense of non-con- forming authenticity that is crucial to the brand.

Garg lets us in on what defines his vision and journey after powering this groundbreaking label for fifteen years.

Payal Kapadia's "Woebegone’s Warehouse of Words" unfolds as a mesmerizing fantasy adventure that vividly mirrors our contemporary era: a world where language has become a commodity. In this universe, words carry a cost, and so does the liberty to utter them freely. The narrative pivots when Asha and Zeb, both fifteen, defy conventions by graffitiing a wall. This act thrusts them into direct conflict with the despotic Word Bloc and its malevolent leader, Gunther Glib. For Gunther, authority resides in regulating speech itself, even if it necessitates the annihilation of words and the perpetual silence of those who dare to speak them.

When you think of Goa, you immediately think of the bone warming sun, soft sand, towering palm trees and ocean breeze. But Goa is much more than that. There is a side to it that sparkles in the monsoon, a season the place is not really known for. When the sky opens to pour its heart out in a manner unrestrained and unabashed. It gives the trees a deep beautiful lush of green, spectacular weather inspiring in us positivity and joy. We got to experience that at The Westin Goa that marked a few days of supreme indulgence.

Artist-designer Viraj Khanna unveiled a fresh collection of fully hand-embroidered artworks in the group exhibition titled ‘Like Share and Subscribe’ at Rajiv Menon Contemporary in Los Angeles, running from July 14th to 28th.
Viraj’s latest pieces represent a departure from his usual embroidery style, employing a dual strategy. Firstly, they demonstrate the medium's potential to deceive the viewer, resembling watercolor or acrylic paintings from a distance before revealing their embroidered nature upon closer inspection. Secondly, his artworks adopt a narrative-driven approach, capturing intimate life moments through the intricate threads of embroidery.

Personal narratives and experiences have always shaped filmmaker Nishi Dugar’s life. Invariably, her cinematic soul seeks it. Anaar Daana, her debut short film that was screened at Berlin International Film Festival is a deeply personal film about death.
Nishi grew up in Calcutta with a tight knit family that stayed until her grandmother passed away. The passing changed a lot. Everyone went their own separate ways and Nishi’s father shifted all of them to Jaipur. Her film explores similar grief through the eyes of a young girl. It is a beautifully shot film in a house that assumes a character of its own. Nishi talks about the making with us, follow the link in bio.

Shahnaz Habib, renowned for her translation of the 2018 JCB Prize-winning book, ‘Jasmine Days’, has ventured into the world of travel writing with her debut book, ‘Airplane Mode: A Passive-Aggressive History of Travel.’ As a translator, Habib often traveled through languages, making distant and culturally estranged places accessible to English readers. This linguistic journey naturally extended to her writing about real-world adventures. Her book provides a witty and personal account of the history of travel through the perspective of a Muslim woman from the global south.

She talks to us about her perspectives on translation and travel writing, the evolving relevance of guidebooks, the guilt associated with traveling, and the connection between personal and historical travel experiences. Link in bio!
