What started as a conscious effort to collate Indian works on LGBTQIA+ in 2010 with the hosting of open mics and literature fests that led to creating content for books (2012) and documentaries (2014), Queer Eye is now ready to take their works to a mainstream au­dience with their latest initiative. Called Inqueerable Happenings, the bi-monthly series of events wi­ll include art, theatre and screenings. Scheduled to launch this Friday, it also marks the return of the Queer Eye after a hiatus of three years, in collaboration with theatre personality Vikram Phukan.

"Queer Ink's vision is to change the popular narrative of LGBTQIA+ in India by curating, developing, nurturing and promoting such works. Both Vikram and I believe that nurturing creativity, promoting the queer word and providing a safe space for dialogue is the best way to change attitudes about the LGBTQIA+ Indian communities. Our vision is to portray the queer world through a range of works that look at queer lives outside the lens of identity politics, and take the discourse ahead," founder Shobhna S Kumar tells us.
