The first solo show for Kerala-origin, US-raised rapper Hanumankind after the success of his globally-charting song ‘Big Dawgs’ is aptly taking place in Bengaluru, the city where he has thrived. Performing at an open-air show in Jayamahal marks a significant step up for Hanumankind, who is also working on more songs that are most likely to form his debut album.
Rising in acclaim as well as fame since ‘Big Dawgs’ which producer Kalmi released in July, fans can also expect songs such as ‘Go To Sleep’, ‘Damnson’, ‘Southside’ and more. In a previous interview about the success of ‘Big Dawgs’, Hanumankind has said, “I’m grateful for how everything rolled out. I think we turned some heads with this one. Raised some eyebrows and got them looking, because by its reception, we got the whole world in the comments.”

A vacuum cleaner haunted by a ghost is the kind of one-liner which can draw in a festival audience looking for a little light-hearted fun to fill the time slots available between the “heavier” films which require much closer attention. A useful ghost, the debut feature of Thai filmmaker Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke being screened in the world cinema category at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), even appears so in the initial hour. Until, the film becomes something more, with strong undercurrents of Thailand’s contemporary political history.

Sustainability is not an add-on, but stamped firmly into the process: every piece is biodegradable, waste-free and unembellished, free from glitter or beads. “Products should be sustainable and biodegradable so that our planet is not harmed,” says Anu Elizabeth Alexander, a student of Sishya, Adyar. At a recent exhibition, the stars she made sold the fastest, followed by the small diamonds. “I would like people to know about the process, how it is created, and that it is sustainable,” says Anu. Infanta Leon from Kotturpuram developed an interest in crochet as a teenager. It was a hobbyhorse that evolved into a steed that would help her embark on a journey of identity-shaping creative engagement. She started making Christmas-themed decor two years ago, spurred by a desire to craft safe, eco-friendly toys for children. “With a toddler at home, and my elder child sensitive to synthetic materials, I wanted to create items that were gentle, durable and tactile,” she explains. Her earliest creations were small amigurumi toys which gradually evolved into ornaments that could adorn Christmas trees with warmth and charm.
