“Begumpura: A Land Without Sorrows” is a vision for collective healing through a series of gatherings that leans on various mediums of storytelling, body movement practices, improv, and reflective writing about the lived experiences of the NYC Indian Dalit diaspora. Created in collaboration with Moving Rasa, it holds a safe and brave space to express stories of the resilience of those surviving caste apartheid in the U.S.
