Synopsis:
What happened in Voodoo, Mumbai’s first gay bar and nightclub? How did
daily commute in a crowded local train between Barasat and Kolkata shape
someone’s queer experience? Does ‘home’ truly signify safety for a
queer woman? Has the virtual queer space transcended class divisions?
This anthology explores these questions, amongst many others, through
personal and shared experiences of love and loss, some nostalgic and
some full of hope, some humorous and some educational. The anthology
brings together a uniquely diverse blend of experiences that explores
human stories, giving us a peek into the urban spaces we occupy.
