Flux Island is a New Media Art Exhibition that explores the site-specific location and its relationship to the sea using interaction, generative processes, and immersion. The artworks in the exhibition are created by students and alumni of the Aalto Media Lab. Flux Island’s first presentation took place in Vuotalo (Vuosaari), Helsinki 1.–22.2.2020.

I designed the communication material and visual identity for the event.

The exhibition concluded with a Family Day where families were invited to try out and explore different interactive installations and DIY instruments while enjoying the artworks of the exhibition.

In December 2019, the government of India proposed changes in citizenship laws which were anti-muslims, anti-poor, and exclusionary towards specific minorities - a move which sparked protests all over the world. A spontaneously formed protest group in Helsinki, largely consisting of Indian students. These posters were designed for the protest organised against the new citizenship amendment laws in India, and another against caste-based sexual violence.

When a website algorithm selectively guesses what information a user would like to see based on information about the user (such as location, past click behaviour, and search history), it leads to the formation of Filter Bubbles of information/misinformation. Users become separated from information that disagrees with their viewpoints, effectively isolating them in their own cultural or ideological bubbles. The intent behind this campaign is to convey the dichotomy between the seen and the unseen, to highlight the existence of ‘the other side’ to a story, and to raise awareness about filter bubbles.

An Insignificant Man (previously known as Proposition for a Revolution) is a 2016 Hindi/English Indian socio-political documentary co-produced and directed by Khushboo Ranka and Vinay Shukla and also co-produced by filmmaker Anand Gandhi. The film is a shockingly intimate documentary about how an anti-corruption people's movement grew into a political party in New Delhi.

A year before its release, I was asked to pitch some poster ideas for the film. This, as well as the other ideas were all rejected, but this one was my favourite.

Om Dar-B-Dar is a 1988 cult Indian film directed by Kamal Swaroop. The absurdist / non-linear film follows a young schoolboy Om and his family who live in Pushkar, Rajasthan. It is a satire on mythology, arts, politics and philosophy.

This served as the official poster when the film was digitally restored and re-released in 2014.
