Maraa Bangalore: A Creative Collaboration in Art Activism

An independent arts festival in Bengaluru brings together musicians, artists, and cultural activists from across the country to perform and engage with each other. Among the diverse projects that the Bangalore collective, Maraa, has spearheaded, is a photo exhibition featuring artistic—and fantastical—portraits of elderly role models from the trans community. Another standout project is an “experiment in creative protest” that selects and trains voices from marginalized or underrepresented communities across Maharashtra in the art of standup comedy, taking them on tour.
