This Sunday's presenters. (More about them in the next post.)

Aditya is founder, producer and composer of Nivid, an alt-electro-rock band with provocative and theatrical narratives written in Hindi, based upon reflections of the self, society, and civilisation. The band draws influence from industrial, post-rock, punk, and electronica interfused with Indian sounds. Aditya has traversed from the small-town world of Ludhiana, Punjab to bigger spaces like Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Mumbai, and New Delhi enriching his vision and skills. Since 2019 the band has consistently put out thought-provoking, socially relevant music and performances. The World Around Me Infinite Support | Sanskaari got public attention recently with 200,000+ hits.

Bhagya is a self-taught artist who fiercely explores mediums and techniques such as brush strokes, fire, and ambidexterity to depict abstract expressionisms in her works. Sivaraman is a professional social worker with double master’s degrees from TISS, Mumbai, and Oxford University, UK. She has worked with grassroots NGOs, research think-tanks, and policymakers on several social issues pertaining to vulnerable women and children in low-and-middle-income countries. She particularly uses art as a medium to work with behaviour change and trauma, which eventually turned into a medium of healing for her very own self.

This Sunday at The Goa Project Sessions, it's the Society track, and the theme is environmental action. We are all aware of the precipice on which we stand, when it comes to air quality and water supply. But what can we actually do about it? Do we need citizens to take steps in their individual lives to combat these issues, or does it all eventually come down to policy? And how is this policy made?
