We are excited to present the cohort of artists for the inaugural edition of our supported project EASTgoesSOUTH. This year, the East African Soultrain will be home to a diverse collection of artists.
🧭 Katlego K Kolanyane-Kesupile, a cultural architect, published author, international award-winning performer, and TED Fellow from Botswana, always in pursuit of ways to remain radically tender.
🧭 Arya Rothe, an independent documentary filmmaker based in Pune, India, and the co-founder of Nocut Film Collective (2016) based out of India, Italy and Romania, who envisions filmmaking as collaborative and transcultural.
🧭 Sourjyo Sinha, a musician, producer, and event curator, whose dreamy, hopeful music subtly addresses deep and sometimes morbid themes, ranging from climate change to the historical post-partition tensions in her native Assam.
🧭 Snigdha Prabhakar, an awarded Bangalore-based contemporary dancer, choreographer and teacher, who has toured extensively across Europe, China, and Canada as one of the main casts for several company dance productions.
🧭 oysh, an anti-disciplinary writer, performer, media-maker, and founder of the queer-feminist arts collaborative, LooseWomenCollective, working at the intersections of theatre, text, & new-media arts, using play and performativity to enquire into fringe narratives.
🧭 Deen/ø, whose blend of storytelling, poetry, electronic braindance, performance and projections is at times surreal and absurd, other times radical and somber, collectively inviting us to reflect on the beauty and pain that shape life.
🧭 Pamela Aobo Enyonu, a Kampala-based Ugandan visual artist, writer and recovering advertising professional, focussing on the black African [female] experience, using her personal experiences as a point of departure.
EASTgoesSOUTH 2025 is supported by @millerzillmerfoundation, produced by OFF.Track Collective and @mesh_worksin partnership with @artsforwardindia and @citizensofstage Co Lab.
