maraa means tree...
...in Kannada. maraa is still a seed, rooted to the philosophy of community media. As a collective, our priority areas are art & culture in public space, gender & sexuality as well as independent media
maraa will create platforms for expression through media and the creative arts to build and strengthen networks, foster debate and dialogue, share and learn from experiences.
why maraa?
We feel that it is important for like minded people to be able to come together and express themselves freely without barriers of space, agenda, professionalism etc. While lines between public/private, urban/rural are blurring continuously, we feel it is important to try and retain a sense of community, a sense of collective reflection and action. Issues and stories may vary from time to time, creating platforms and maintaining dialogue remain priorities for us
