An initiative started by some like-minded friends I made in this cute little community of Goa that started in-between conversations was a learning for me as much as it was for the kids. The experience was not only limited to teaching the kids which was a both a joy and a scary responsibility somehow, but it was a process of letting go for me personally of the toxic perfectionism that I had built in through my architecture college. It was a process of unlearning, collaborating, listening, communicating beyond languages, of making mistakes and laughing about them.
I spent the month of October in 2023 to teach myself how to sew and made my clothes from stratch on my mother’s sewing machine.
