Preamble for the Indian Constitution
This is how it all started
The first iteration of The NAME project was Self and took place within Theatre Lab (Youth). The second iteration - The NAME Project: Family - took place on February 2nd, 2020 at Shoonya Centre for Arts and Somatic Practices in Bangalore. The third was in Mumbai. The fourth will be The NAME Project: Neighbours, the fifth- The NAME Project: Friends, the sixth - The NAME Project: Strangers and so on. A ripple effect.
​
The NAME Project is designed to have three components - a written, a performative and an open-source digital archive that can be aggregated. Anyone interested in taking The NAME Project to their communities can do so by writing to Zui Kumar-Reddy at zztop3847@gmail.com.

Thank you and here’s to diversity!
The NAME Project is an act of community, of empathy. Conceptualized by Zui Kumar-Reddy, it functions on a simple fulcrum. That if you ask people about their name - how they were named, what the name means, who named them, whether they like it - you may find a space of vulnerability.
