Curating for Culture
Parallel efforts concerned with material, aesthetic, and historical meaning-making include the preservation practices of the Dhaka Urban Study Group and Bombaywall Historical Works; the transnational digital Asia Art Archive: the archiving, curatorial and library science initiatives of Jackfruit Research and Design and Curating for Culture; and the ephemeral festivals aiming to capture the creative gestalt, from Lahore to Dhaka to Panaji. These endeavors, to name only a few, have shaped and opened the architectural archive in order to grow South Asian narratives of the modern.

We are a collective. We are also many diverse individuals. We are passionate about cultural issues and creativity is our hack. Our work ranges from community engagement in regional settlements, exercises in historical and cultural preservation, taking up institutional responsibilities, engaging in constructive activism to designing responses and facilitating public appreciation in urban settings for creative exchanges.
