WHAT: Kala - Aksharam, An Open Mic Series
WHEN: 4:30 - 7:30 PM, 10th March
WHERE: Akshaya's Creative Koodum

I see art, I feel art but I don’t know art. I want to know art. I think I know the place to start. An open mic solely for art. From one to another, we learn, we share and we grow. From the roots of an ancestral home, we bring you kaala-aksharam this Sunday. A curation of artistic minds and their voices await you.

"My grandma used to get me rasam. Dunno what she puts in there but she's literally the only woman who could make rasam taste that good. Sometimes I'd go to her and tell her what's bothering me physically.

She'd have a tray of weird spices and mixes and she'd make something that tastes weird but makes me feel so much better later.

To me, that's a potion.

Spells are simply words one says, words they believe in so much that it actually happens in reality.

I believe everyone makes their own reality. I think everyone is magical in their own way.

So we decided to do an event to celebrate magic. "

Sunshine House presents The Witching Hour, a conceptual art event about magic.

📍🧠 WHAT: The Museum of a Mind
📍🧠WHERE: The Backyard, Adyar
📍🧠 WHEN: 4PM - 6PM, 5th November

Why do I create?
To make productivity less boring

Inspiration strikes me when I find the need to have a journal for every purpose imaginable, and that's all the time!

The creative process is very simple: try, fail, and try again. All our journals keep improving themselves a little every time we restock. We believe that our journals, just like people, are always works in progress.

📍🧠 WHAT: Garage Sale of a lifetime
📍🧠WHERE: The Museum of the Mind @ The Backyard, Adyar
📍🧠 WHEN: 2PM - 8PM, November 5th

Why do I create art?
For emotional release

How do I create art?
When I feel like I have too many thoughts bothering me, i declutter them by painting and pouring them out.

When and where does inspiration strike?
When I feel extreme emotion. When I feel the feels strongly.

I describe my creative process very intuitive and flowy.

There are no exact steps involved in my art. I work with the flow. Sometimes that's why some of my art is incomplete... Because I'm done flowing..

📍🧠 WHAT: Creativity 101: Art in the Everyday
📍🧠WHERE: The Museum of the Mind @ The Backyard, Adyar
📍🧠 WHEN:
Session 1: 3PM - 5PM, 5th November
Session 2: 6PM - 8PM, 5th November

Everything is gorgeous in its own regard. The nature of existence? The flow of being and the very nature of what is..is somehow, well, gorgeous. However can it not be, filled with the essence of humanity within it? There's magic in everything. In the everyday, and that'd what Aksheeya and Nikhilesh bring to you through this workshop.

📍🧠WHERE: The Museum of the Mind @ The Backyard, Adyar
📍🧠 WHEN:
Session 1: 3PM - 5PM, 5th November
Session 2: 6PM - 8PM, 5th November

To move. To create from the body the notion of beauty and flow, and to extend from oneself through the limbs, and find more of oneself in the actions that we indulge in. To be honest. And to learn how to be. To just be.. more of yourself. This? This is what Yadhava teaches you, to be able to express yourself as more of.. yourself. So that, in the process, you find more of yourself and what you can be, freed from the constraints of what you're expected to be.

Note: No material for the workshop is necessary.

WHAT: Sunday Spar Sessions Vol. V
WHEN: 2PM - 8PM, 5th November
WHERE: LXG Nungambakkam

We've begun to expand the idea. I mean. We now have giveaways with each event? Art print giveaways to each participant. And also, interviews on our stream. Little things, really, and yet..the idea's growing? It started as a gaming space. And yet, it's expanded, more so to a general description of just..a weekend evening to enjoy, however you want to?

And we'd love for you to join us, and find out just what we mean.

📍🧠 WHAT:Scribbling for Joy - A scribbling workshop
📍🧠WHERE: The Museum of a Mind @ The Backyard, Adyar
📍🧠 WHEN: 4PM - 6PM, 5th November

The effort to be perfect? That need seems to be a blocking condition on all terms, reducing one to only doing what one can because we're far too unsure to risk into something that might be too unskilled, the risk of doing something that you might not be good at?

That's completely okay. And that's exactly what Ashwin, our Realism based artist wishes to show. To show, display, and teach, with the assistance of all his flaws and learning mistakes, that drawing, scribbling, in the end, is about the experience, and not just the result.

Note: All necessary material for the workshop will be provided at the venue.

03/11/2023

📍🧠 WHAT: Art Therapy : A workshop
📍🧠WHERE: The Museum of a Mind @ The Backyard, Adyar
📍🧠 WHEN: 2 PM - 4PM, 5th November

Come along with us as we take you on an explorative journey looking into the nature of the self, and the flaws and hardships that we go through, and learn to unburden ourselves from these constant excesses and weights in our life through the practice of art, and learn how Art might provide a centric point to which one might centre themselves, if only for a better understanding of the self, all at the hands of our delightful artist Mya and her Art Therapy process.

Note: All necessary material for the workshop will be provided at the venue.

📍🧠 WHAT: An Art Event - The Museum of a Mind
📍🧠WHERE: The Backyard, Adyar
📍🧠 WHEN: 2 PM - 8 PM, 5th November

What? You didn't think I was just going to limit it to the visual aspect of art, without expanding it to encompass all else that it could be, bringing the everything into the fold to make it an experience where I just soak you into the idea, did you?

Of course the idea has to grow.

I love depicting my imagination within my artwork and working with others to create one-of-a-kind artwork. In the process of creating art and exploring various mediums, I developed a sense of purpose: a deep and obsessive compulsion to expand and share my vision.

📍🧠WHERE: The Backyard, Adyar
📍🧠 WHEN: 2 PM - 8 PM, 5th November

I started art to regulate my emotions, whenever there were things I couldn't process or share i would take colors and just paint whatever I felt like. Most of the time my art works are a reflection of my emotions so whatever I want to feel i take colors that give me those emotions and create something out of it. My designing process is basically going with the flow. Even after I finish if I'm not happy with the outfit i restart on the same base. The process continues until it makes me content.

Art is a version of yourself, creating it can be simple. Inspirations and experimenting with flavours helps me create my menu. Instagram and books are my biggest sources of inspiration. My creative process is mainly trial and error based. Since I make food, I love to create flavours that are unique and exciting and this process helps me in creating my art.

📍🌷 WHAT: An Art Event - My Chennai: A love letter
📍🌷 WHERE: The Backyard, Adyar
📍🌷 WHEN: 2 PM - 8 PM

Chennai used to be the It place to come from Nagercoil, and here I am now for a long time, and still feel the same. Me being a summer kid with the literal sun as my name Aditya, well, still don't really hate on city heat. And here I am trying to explore myself and art in this city, and I love it.

- Adithya

Ya know, keeps confusing everyone when I call Adhi a futurist, but.. have you seen her work? The nature of what she coalesces, and binds, and brings together in one cohesive form to create a notion of what can be when it hasn't been so far, and yet.. somehow? Somehow, like the strings she connects from one notion to the next, she's stitched this from what was.. to what will be, all by her very own hands. And that story? her story? Ah, that.. that you ought to hear from her lips all by yourself, my darlings. About her, and her amma.

Its the people in it, the culture and the love and warmth that makes Chennai what is it. It's a place that's always accepting and loving. From Poo akka to tea kadai anna to a random stranger in a metro train are the heart of Chennai.

- Tadaabee

When I asked her once what her name meant, she told me that it's a bee going "tadaa" , you know "Tadaabee" ? ...and I have to confess, that is the most adorable, delightful and pure reason that I've ever heard, and I absolutely LOVE it. The name even justified itself, because the bee, Abhirami, is just that, a tadaa, with a splash of gorgeous, lovingly etched home-grown art to back that tadaa-ing, and I can't wait to see 's little love letter to the city.
