Just: Music

on 05 Jan 2025

We organised a first of its kind performance with recording artist and songwriter Suman Sridhar at Byculla District Jail

“Performing at the prison was surreal - bringing music to imprisoned people was an immediate experience of healing through the arts. I felt honoured by the level of connection my music had with people; I left just as enriched.”

— Suman Sridhar

“As I played, I could see how the music provided a temporary escape from the harsh reality of their lives. It was humbling to witness how a simple song could create a connection between us, transcending walls and bars.

Despite the difficult circumstances, there was a sense of unity that resonated in the room. I left feeling grateful for the opportunity to bring a moment of peace into such a challenging environment.”
