How many times have you felt restricted in doing things you desire because they don’t fit a certain social criteria? In a world where conventions tend to overpower identity and individuality, where social disparities are getting stronger each day — arts are possibly one of the only channels through which one can challenge the strictures, disrupt the 'norm' and engage in a conversation that fosters growth.

Exploring a similar line of thought in Writing a riot, a talk hosted by city-based organisation Freestyle, in collaboration with Bhasha Centre and Harkat Studios, Botswana-based writer, interdisciplinary producer and researcher, Kat Kai Kol-Kes will join Freestyle founder, Sameera Iyengar, in a conversation that will explore disruptive storytelling and writing.
