The Open Circle artists’ initiative (Bombay, India) searches for a “creative engagement” with contemporary social and political themes. One of the most important themes in its activities, for example, is cultural “homogenisation” and aggression against “the other”, both in India and beyond. Open Circle organises projects in which theory and practice are interlinked, for example - debates with people from different sections of society and manifestations and activities with and for youngsters, activists etc. These frequently take place on the streets of Bombay.
