HOPE IN AN HOURGLASS
Edition 1 | 2022
Like a game of blind man's buff, when the midnight hour is upon us, there ensues a scramble to possess another tomorrow. We are forever boats against the current, beating on to changing tides.
The first edition of our annual anthology, "Hope in an Hourglass", features the many iterations of hope, calling in to concoct another spell.
IN BLOOM - A MIXTAPE FOR YOUTH
Edition 2 | 2023
By centering the idea of ‘youth’, our second edition hopes to pay homage to a period of our lives that is often only viewed through a rose-tinted lens.
Like a mixtape, the anthology too is made with love, patience, and painstaking detail with several artists coming together. It is unpolished, vulnerable, and hopeful with all its cracks and seems, much like youth itself. Here is a mixtape of youth from our blues to yours.

PHYSICALIS: THE ANATOMY OF BEING
Edition 3 | 2024
This is a homage to the body. We exist with a body and to a certain extent, even because of the body. Standing at the forefront of existence, it is the conduit through which we perceive the world, the canvas upon which our identities are etched, and the battleground where we fight against conformity and suppression. At the heart of Physicālis lies the recognition of the body as the quintessential medium that binds us to the universe and to each other.
