Boundary Setting & Safety In The Indian Arts

Parents play a vital role in shaping their child’s learning experiences. Given that workplace misconduct is part of the narrative in the Indian arts world, CAREspaces believes in empowering parents to prioritize their child’s safety in such settings.  Join us for a 2-hour online guided discussion where you will hear from parents, students, and artists with first hand lived experiences as they share how they navigated tough situations and were able to successfully prioritize safety and boundary set with members of the community including but not limited to gurus, co-artists, and organizers. This discussion will be moderated by Janani Ramesh and Neha Krishnamachary, the co-founders of CAREspaces.
