SEEMAWORLD: Syahi leaves a mark - by name and by nature. Stemming from the structure of musical congregation as seva, Syahi centres song and dance as a bridge to sparking liberatory, congregative spaces and stories.

SEEMAWORLD: Earth centres fictional storytelling within our own collective realities - with a specific focus on sapphic desire and transcendence against a backdrop of british south asian culture (and its roots in the midlands).
