The D&I Collective is a media organisation and creative collective, working to diversify narratives in South Asian media through community + capacity-building---with a focus on furthering social equity through art & writing. A student-led, non-hierarchal space for creatives by and from structurally-excluded backgrounds. We also have an upcoming digital literary magazine imprint and do workshops &c.! By increasing access to resources, connections and creative spaces, we hope to facilitate the production of stories, writing, art, performance & film that is fundamentally located within ideas of equity, divergence and care, such as--ecological justice, intersectional feminism, post-colonialism, FLINTA identities, anti-capitalism, anti-casteism, disability, neurodiversity, mental health and non-conformity amongst other things. I've been working as a part of the core editorial team starting January 2023! Show less
