Dear Readers,
It has just been a fortnight since the launch of Global Indian Artist™ on Substack — and with gratitude, we now take the next step in our journey.
GIA is expanding into a digital magazine
Launching September 15, 2025
Theme: Embodiment as Wellbeing
Inside the Fall Issue:
Cover Story – The Dynamic Duo: Shriya Srinivasan & Joshua George, curators of the Intersections: Indian Dance Conference (Harvard & MIT, Sept 27–28)
Health & Emotional Wellbeing – resilience through embodied practice
Ecology & Sustainable Living – everyday choices for a mindful future
Voices from the Diaspora – personal stories archiving memory & migration, giving voice to the diaspora
Archiving & Reviewing – performances and critical reflections that document our field
We are also proud to serve as media partner for the Intersections dance Conference, amplifying conversations between artists, scholars, and communities.
Together with SarangArts (pedagogy + arts for social justice), GIA continues its mission to archive, amplify & transform culture through dance, dialogue, and reflection.
Save the Date: September 15 — the Fall Issue of Global Indian Artist magazine goes live!
With gratitude and anticipation,
Anita Vallabh, Ph.D.
