‘এমন পরিস্থিতিতে আপনার অনুভূতি কী?’ as we stretch, we continue the alap… আমি তিলোত্তমা ও চিমুখ। জমায়েত থেকে এসেছিলাম আলাপ জুড়তে—ছড়িয়ে থাকা এক সময়ের মাঝখানে আমাদের বর্তমানকে রেখে। সঙ্গে করে এনেছিলাম আমাদের সংগ্রহের কিছু বই, পাবলিকেশন আর নোট—shift, movement, turmoil, departure, void, outsider ঘিরে। নোঙ্গর - দাগি আর্ট গ্যারেজ ঢাকা☘️ 95, Poran Thana moar, Gojmohol notun koshai khana, 5 Hazaribagh Rd, 1209, Bangladesh আলাপের ধরন: একদম ঘরোয়া পরিবেশ (বিপদ হইতে সাবধান) Thoughts/ …. Garage is located within the industrial terrain of Hazaribaag, a neighbourhood shaped by extractive labour, layered residues, and long histories of marginalisation. As a collective artists’ studio, it occupies a site where art-making is inseparable from the material and social conditions that surround it. This marked our seventh meeting / ceremonial gathering—a moment where practices met through dialogue, shaped by the architecture of mutual sharing. The gathering functioned as a space of reunion, not as nostalgia but as correspondence: a coming together that openly acknowledges togetherness alongside precarity and constraint. 1 Collective reading unfolded through site-specific observation and collateral conversations, where listening became a political act and the boundaries between studio and neighbourhood remained deliberately porous. 2 During this process, reading extended beyond text into negotiation—ongoing not only among artists but with the site itself. The histories of contamination, resistance, and survival embedded in Hazaribaag actively shaped the ethics of our practice. 3 In this way, Daagi Art Garage emerges as a space where the archive is not resolved or overcome, but engaged as a critical position—allowing collective art-making to arise from situated knowledge and shared responsibility. See you soon.

‘এমন পরিস্থিতিতে আপনার অনুভূতি কী?’ as we stretch, we continue the alap… আমি তিলোত্তমা ও চিমুক, জমায়েত থেকে এসেছিলাম আলাপ জুড়তে—ছড়িয়ে থাকা এক সময়ের মাঝখানে আমাদের বর্তমানকে রেখে। সঙ্গে করে এনেছিলাম আমাদের সংগ্রহের কিছু বই, পাবলিকেশন আর নোট—shift, movement, turmoil, departure, void, outsider ঘিরে। নোঙ্গর - কালী কালেক্টিভ, ইন্দিরা রোড, ঢাকা☘️ Kaali collective, 43-0/1, House name- Malobika, 6 th floor, rooftop. Indira road, Panthopath, Dhaka. আলাপের ধরন: একদম ঘরোয়া পরিবেশ (বিপদ হইতে সাবধান) Kaali Collective/time–terrace–transit ~ Some unions emerge not as sites, but as an ethos—a deeper holding. Kaali unfolds as a recurring convergence: an ongoing reunion shaped through subjective association, collateral dialogue, and shared acts of attention. Kaali exists both as a site and as a condition—a space for safe nesting. ~ It is a collective situation, held together through mutual remembering rather than saturated movement. Ideas circulate, pause, fracture, and return through conversation, popular media, and everyday encounters. Anecdote 1: Memory within Kaali is not stored as record, but activated as a living force—associative, unstable, and relational—carried through voices, urban textures, and informal pedagogies. Anecdote 2: Like the city, Kaali is encountered as both context and collaborator. Streets, domestic thresholds, studios, and transit routes become sites of intervention where artistic practice meets lived experience. Reading and sharing within the collective deepen the meaning of intervention. These practices resist monumental gestures; instead, they work through small-scale exposures—reading together, listening collectively, occupying time rather than space. Key note: Popular media plays a crucial role here—not as spectacle, but as access: a means to engage wider publics without flattening complexity. ~ In this unfolding, we operate as a porous and collateral formation—open to rupture, return, and reconfiguration. We privilege process over consequence, correspondence over conclusion, and care over impulse. We remain hopeful that this dialogue will continue to expand. Long live!

‘এমন পরিস্থিতিতে আপনার অনুভূতি কী?’ as we stretch, we continue the alap… আমরা জমায়েত (jomayet) থেকে এসেছিলাম আলাপ জুড়তে ছড়িয়ে থাকা এক সময়ের মাঝখানে আমাদের বর্তমানকে রেখে। সঙ্গে করে এনেছিলাম আমাদের সংগ্রহের কিছু বই, পাবলিকেশন আর নোট—shift, movement, turmoil, departure, void, outsider ঘিরে। নোঙ্গর - ইন্দিরা রোড, ঢাকা Ellora Collective Space ☘️ 7th January, 2026 around 5 PM আলাপের ধরন: একদম ঘরোয়া পরিবেশ (বিপদ হইতে সাবধান) (revisit) …Crossing time is always a sensitive act, especially when one must move through internal contradictions. In navigating this collateral time—where life unfolds amid ongoing turbulence—we find that this moment creates a new register of understanding, rooted in cohesive listening. We are currently in Dhaka, revisiting overlapping memories. It is a saturated landscape, one we have long inhabited with the hope that diversity might continue to breathe through forms of alliance and shared engagement. 1 Returning after many months, we felt the need to revise our modes of communication. We began instead from the re-imagination of uncanny absence. This led us to a personal space—Ellora—where we encountered a strong ethic of plurality and a sustainable practice of living as observation. This collaboration felt especially resonant as we move forward, attempting to hold and accommodate wider voices shaped by contrast and confluence. During this gathering, we shared our travelling publications and carried forward our mapping practice, where markers of time are traced through personal imagination. We also introduced the fourth chapter from Ant-Through-Push-In, shared alongside warm food and tea. 2 Without creating noise or a distinct spectacle, we felt an urgent need to re-listen—more than to accumulate. Following that feeling, this travelling initiative is curious to engage and communicate while travelling—moving from station to halt, from junction to an ally’s balcony, from institution to tong-er dokan, from roads to hills, from hills to rivers—carrying this alap forward as an extended mode of communication. ,,🍀,,,

This time, we were in Shantiniketan, Goyalpara, near Kopai—a river that still lives in our nostalgia. Can nostalgia survive alone in the time of invisible partition? Anchor 1/ Kopai is more than a river; it holds the non-linearity of time, absorbing destruction and neglect under the name of globalization. As we unfolded our travelling materials, we noticed how reading is often treated as knowing rather than engaging. We stayed low-key, sharing slowly in our friend’s intimate space—becoming a meeting point for books, tea, and alap. For several unstructured hours, we read, shared fragments, and listened with care. Anchor 2 / The alap continued with a reading from Ant-Through-Push-In: Situation 3, alongside our close friend and commune Renu, visiting from London. Through impromptu co-dialogue—music, text, and absence—Renu offered not just sound but consciousness, reminding us that partition is not accidental, but layered and ongoing. Anchor 3 / As night fell, the alap stretched beyond the space. We spoke of time as *now', the future as 'then*, and the cost of impulsive action—returning to our own neglects and opening space for further introspection. Much care to Samit, Moushumi, zoro for inviting us—and to all the folx who joined, even during a holiday time here 💚🌺 Image courtesy: @livingcanvas.artspace and @zmayet__

'এমন পরিস্থিতিতে আপনার অনুভুতি কি?’ -as we stretch, we continue the আলাপ/alap. নোঙ্গর - বেতড়, বাকশারা, হাওড়া ☘️ Milton’s Studio / 26 December, 2025 While absorbing the delayed aftereffects of a fourteen-hour transit(Delhi to Kolkata, via kanpur), we felt a lazy momentum intervene—an insistence that drew us toward our first outpost at Milton’s studio. Milton has been a long-standing ally of zmayet, there with us from the very beginning, from the first scratch. Milton is based in Betor, Howrah. His neighbourhood carries an emotional coherence shaped by the invisible river Saraswati—much like our own transit, his home is situated within a frame of correspondence, where life brushes against myth, and time encounters its cultural plurality. A practicing painter and educator from the city, Milton’s work explores interpersonal and collective experiences with an open-ended orientation related to the concept of ‘left’, especially exploring practice more than achievement but as friendship. Much care for such delicious food, onek jotno to kakima and kaku for so much effort, felt like sharing shelter with hope that we exit! 🍲💚 As we began this journey carrying a set of books, notes, and publications from across the Global South—materials in which movement, shift, and rapture are embedded within collective experience—we approached Milton to engage with and share his methods of reading fractured time. Through this exchange, we opened multiple areas of reflection around reading, readability, and restlessness, confronting our fears, scars, and unease, and asking why and where the necessity of “publications” continues to matter as a source of inspiration and encounter. During this exchange, Tilottama and Kaur began the process of slow reading from one chapter of the first issue of 'Ant-Through-Push-In' as a way to revisit and share alignments. We look forward to continuing this flow through another outpost, another bank of time. !

Ceremonial intersections Pic 1 and 2: Revisiting the mundanity that connects our everyday lives with the noise of the city can sometimes feel different, especially when a friend arrives with care and hope. Pic 3,4 and 5: Having Raju with us was more than just joy; it felt like a ceremonial intersection. In that short yet meaningful exchange, we shared moments of laziness, idli-sambar, walking spirits, green veggies, impromptu delicious meals by Tilottama, smiles while exchanging zines, and a quiet solidarity for one another. Pic 6:During this time, we also received the riso print they had created during an earlier exchange a few months ago - it is essential, if one's interest, feel free to connect our studio or dm at @intrans___ Pic 7: We briefly spent a few hours together at the zmayat studio, and then Kaur accompanied them on a longer journey over the next few days—we would like to nurture this memory as a nest! Extended thoughts, While having dinner together, we collectively realized how essential a sense of commune is—something that allows us to heal and remain alive in these times of global silence. Much care @raju_rage Sincerely @tilottama_ & @mx.kaurchimuk

🤲📖We invite you to read Heba Hayek’scommission ‘How Many Times Must the Phoenix Burn? entries from the rupture’. This work was written in response to trans[*]glocal, a gathering by instrans___ ( @intrans___ ,Oct 2024, Battersea Arts Centre).The event explored alternative ecologies and futures of non-hierarchical, cooperative transmedia exchange. In this deeply reflective Hayek draws on her lived experience, navigating the words ‘here’ and ‘there’ from the perspective of a writer divided between London and Palestine during the genocide of her people. 🎧🔗Read and Listen through the link in our bio 💫Heba Hayek is a palestinian london-based author, workshop facilitator, and communication consultant. Rooted in de-colonial and indigenous practices, Heba’s work pushes the boundaries of supremacist norms, engaging in various exploration of what lies beyond these constraints. She is committed to cultivating liberatory conditions amidst a backdrop of deep individualism and desensitization. Positioned on the other side of the Canon, Heba seeks out the stories of those who reject the limitations of traditional archives and resist imposed terms of visibility.  Heba is also a communication consultant who is passionate about projects that centre the nourishment and cultivation of working class, immigrant, queer, and global majority folk. Heba holds a Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Miami University, Ohio, where she taught composition and rhetoric, as well as creative writing, for two years. In 2019, she moved to London to pursue a Master of Arts in Social Anthropology at SOAS University. Heba’s debut book Sambac Beneath Unlikely Skies won the 2022 Palestine Book Award and was named a 2021 Book of the Year by The White Review, Middle East Eye, and The New Arab.

El viernes nos encontramos para compartir herramientas feministas que nos permitan incidir en las problemáticas socioambientales contemporáneas. Gracias a todos los que lo hicieron posible viniendo, contribuyendo, compartiendo espacio y sueños. Con @luciaixchiugt , Iniciamos el taller con un k’jab que nos permitió agradecer al viento, al fuego, a la tierra, al agua por la posibilidad de coincidir. Luego @columba.gd propició una reflexión sobre la recuperación de lo que ha sido enterrado y no debería estar ahí. Con cuidado, recuperamos saberes, memorias y seres. De la mano de @marcelam.magana nos tomamos un tiempo para sentipensar con el micelio. Apelamos a la construcción de redes y al entrecambio como estrategia para prosperar en un planeta dañado. Finalmente, @cc.gg.ii apeló a la conmoción que trastoca para invitarnos a co-crear herramientas situadas capaces de generar prácticas alternativas que fracturen los imaginarios cautivos. Colectivamente construimos un espacio de conversación y reflexión profunda y gozosa. Activación Socio Ambiental es el primer taller en Casa Ojala con participación de compás, Frida Flores, Ana Lilia Torres, Chakceel Blancas, Nad y Raju, Ana Elizabeth Cabral, Karina Terán Buendía, Tania González Escalona, Melany Rodea, Sofía Sánchez, Rut Mendoza Garcia, Valeria Mendieta, Beatriz Acevedo, Shurabe Mercado, Yana Carla Asquel Carvajal,Yelitza Pareja Ruiz Este Taller ha sido organizado por @la.lleca.colectivaa , @heklerke , @ojala.ojala.mx y facilitadores.
