Under Construction.
Back online soon..

Founded in 2017 by Shilpa Mudbi and Adithya Kothakota, Urban Folk Project is an artist-led practice that works with the living folk traditions of Karnataka through research, artistic production, collaborative projects and pedagogy. Our work grows from long-term relationships with artists and communities, creating performances, learning experiences and cultural initiatives that honour folk knowledge as a living, evolving and contemporary force. Guided by the principles of Contextualisation, Credit, Compensation and Co-working, we are committed to ethical collaboration and sustained engagement with the people who carry these traditions. Over the years, our productions, research projects and workshops have been presented at festivals, museums, universities and cultural institutions across India, while continuing to support artists beyond the stage through mentorship, collaboration and advocacy. Our website is currently being rebuilt and will soon feature our projects, performances, workshops, publications and opportunities to collaborate. To collaborate, commission a production, host a workshop or simply connect, we'd love to hear from you. Email: urbanfolkproject@gmail.com Instagram: @urbanfolkproject
