Sister Library

Sister Library is a collaborative art project based in India.

Profile

Sister Library, a dynamic art project spearheaded by Indigenous artist aqui Thami, transcends the boundaries of a traditional library. Founded on the principle of celebrating women, Sister Library weaves together literature and community engagement to foster alternative pathways. Through a vibrant tapestry of initiatives like Sister Press, Sister Radio, and the Monsoon School, they celebrate the rich diversity of women's narratives. These platforms not only nurture artistic talent but also spark crucial conversations around liberation, cultural heritage, marginalization, care, and the power of storytelling. 

Sister Library actively challenges societal norms, pushing for alternative ways of life. through initiatives like the Walking with Savitri Mai Fellowship and a variety of engaging library events. Recognized for its transformative impact, Sister Library joined our network in 2020, receiving a project grant through our Next Generation programme to support their vital Sister Press initiative.

Sister Library has been a part of the Fund's network since 2020 when they received a project grant through our Next Generation programme for their project Sister Press.
