Writers of Delhi! 

Structured as a prompt-driven session, this co-writing jam facilitated by Purée Mag and hosted at Uncanny Stations (@uncannystations), will foreground and draw from jazz and its multi-instrumental lexicon as a way to think about spontaneity, rhythm and present tense in writing.

The session will take place through a set of short readings, core findings from improv, exercises geared towards strengthening your writing muscle, and resources to think about your practice.

Delighted to announce the public presentation by Kamayani Sharma, recipient of Art Writers’ Award 2025. 

The AWA recipient is awarded a research residency in Switzerland for a period of upto 60 days. Through close mentorship, the writer is exposed to discourses that could further their research and build a community around their themes. Such an endeavor is positioned within a local as much as a global framework in more ways than one, for not only is this a project of some urgency regionally, but reminds us of the fact that the crisis is a global one. Art writing has for some time endured challenges which vary in nature across the world. There is a dearth of critical and experimental work around art and art history- a problem compounded by the paucity of funds and the fact that while platforms for writing may actually be on the rise, their general value and impact in terms of readership has declined. Art Writers’ Award, thus, encapsulates the significant programs of TAKE on Art in this direction with the support of Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
The public will be followed by a conversation between Kamayani Sharma and Suvani Suri. 

Date: 2 April 2026 | Thursday
Time: 5:30 PM onwards
Venue: LATITUDE 28
GF, B 74, Defence Colony,
New Delhi 110024

Penumbra — a co-creation project between Suvani Suri and Elia Buletti exploring sound, text, and the generative possibilities of digression.

Working across artistic research, storytelling, theory-fiction, and sound sculpting, the project unfolds through a concept album and concert-lecture shaped by the idea of the penumbra — a space of partial shadow and illumination where narratives, sonic fields, and atmospheres overlap.

«Preemptive Listening» von Aura Satz rüttelt uns auf und lässt uns nachdenken über Sound in Momenten von Krisen und Protesten. Über Sirenen als Signale der Angst, aber auch als Appell, Verantwortung zu übernehmen und sich den Menschen zuzuwenden. 

Der Sound-Chronist Mohamed Yaghi hört in «Gaza Sound Man» unermüdlich zu. Mitten in einer Welt der Zerstörung zeichnet er akustische Zeugnisse auf. Diese Filme hinterlassen dringliche Fragen: Wie kann Zuhören zu einer Form von Aktivismus werden?�

***

Aura Satz’s «Preemptive Listening» shook us. It made us think about sound in moments of crisis and protest – about sirens as signals of fear, but also as a call to take responsibility and turn to people. 

Sound chronicler Mohamed Yaghi listens tirelessly in «Gaza Sound Man». In the midst of a world of destruction, he records acoustic testimonies. These films left us with questions that feel urgent: How can listening become a form of action?

The two-part event Soft Bodies, Hard Words brings together artists, poets, and listeners to create this in-between zone - a space to explore the tender, agitated, curious, clumsy zones where poetry starts to flicker.

𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐋: 𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 💜

Bevor wir 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠 𝐝𝐚𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 bekanntgeben, stellen wir euch das 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥-𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 vor. Spoiler: Das wird ein wenig Name Dropping. Gerade weil  viele Menschen rund um den Erdball enorm viel Konzept-, Denk-, Kreativarbeit, Pragmatismus, Humor und vor allem Freude für ein einmaliges Festivalerlebnis vom 15.-17. Januar geleistet haben und wir das unbedingt würdigen wollen. MERCI!

Before we announce the 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, we’d like to introduce the 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦. Spoiler: there will be a bit of name-dropping — simply because so many people around the globe have contributed and invested an incredible amount of conceptual thinking, creative work, pragmatism, humor, and above all, joy to help shape a unique festival experience from January 15–17. And we absolutely want to honor that. THANK YOU!

Ein Norient Festival zu planen ist, als würde man zusehen, wie eine Kreatur wächst und zum Leben erwacht: Sie grübelt, faucht, stellt kritische Fragen und bringt viele Emotionen hervor. 🐉 

𝐀𝐦 𝟒. 𝐃𝐞𝐳𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐞𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞.👀🔥

🎨Doch zuerst: Vorhang auf für das diesjährige Festival-Design, eine Collagearbeit von @_amoghbhatnagar_. Die grossartigsten Poster für die 14. Festivalausgabe wurden gerade in der @drucki_reitschule  @reitschulebern fabriziert  - bald hängen sie überall in Bern!

Planning a Norient Festival is like creating a creature and watching it grow: It broods, growls, asks tough questions, and stirs up emotions. 

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟒 👀🔥

But first: Curtain up for this year’s festival design by @_amoghbhatnagar_, freshly printed by the Druckerei @reitschulebern - soon these most amazing posters for the 14th edition will be hanging all over the city of Bern.

~ swirling earworms~ by @suvanisuri is a contribution to the Anthology for Listening Vol. II

// notes from a film
nowanights, said the ear, the daylights keep me awake 
 
A few seconds into the opening scene of Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Memoria, the protagonist is jolted awake with a sound that cuts through the frame. As the plot unravels, in her committed (bordering on obsessive) attempt to recreate it in a studio with a sound engineer, she describes the sound that she heard as “a big ball of concrete that falls into a metal well which is surrounded by seawater.”.
 
“Maybe, it is impossible”, she says (after describing it in this way

[…]

Until you look down, you won’t fall.  A gap in perception, the combination tones loop up and down, the glissando filling the host just as fast as un-filling it. The hole, in this incarnation of a sonorous joyride, takes shape in the privacy of the interior.
