Harkat Studios
    Michaela Talwar (M.A.) is a trained journalist and self-made artist. She is the co-founder and creative director at Harkat Studios, Mumbai's first alternative performance space. There she makes documentary and art films and curates performances and immersive art experiences. Being a polyglot traveller, she prefers to stay geographically and professionally fluid instead of following one identity.
    Her driving force is a combination of creativity with hands-on result-oriented thinking - in 2015 she published a book on rural empowerment through audiovisual storytelling in India. Currently she is exploring big topics and absurdities in society through small stories.
