KAADHAL & KALAI 🧡🎨

Where Love Becomes Art & Art Becomes Love.

Backyard Backyard | Informal Co-working space | Event Venue | Anti-Café x Dee The Stuடீo presents: Kaadhal & Kalai.

We all have something that reminds us of someone - a song, a photograph, a scribbled note, a painting, a place, a memory, or a story we’ve carried quietly for years.

This evening is about bringing those little pieces of our lives into one room.

🎙️ 15 storytellers
🎨 15 lived experiences.
💌 15 different ways of telling a story.
✨One collective art work, created by everyone in the room

Your story could be about love, friendship, family, longing, loss, a place, a person or simply a moment that stayed with you.

But it has to be yours. Something you’ve lived, felt, witnessed or carried with you.

And you don’t have to simply tell it. Tell it through a song, a poem, a painting, a photograph, a piece of writing, a performance, an object or any form of art that feels right to you.

You don’t have to be a poet, artist, musician or performer. You just need a story that means something to you and a way you want to express it.

A little art. A lot of stories. And one evening of kaadhal and kalai
