Harkat Studios

Harkat Studios is an alternative performance black box, artist-run film lab and community space in Mumbai. Nestled in the tranquil neighbourhood of Versova, in the northern suburb of the city, it is in the heart of the creative industry - commercial and fringe alike. Harkat has been in existence since 10+ years, and is deeply connected to the artistic community in the city. In the past we have produced plays, films, multidisciplinary performances and festivals with Indian and international artists.

Harkat Residency:
Residencies are open to performance artists, visual artists, filmmakers, researchers who wish to use the darkroom/ artist lab setup or the black box as a temporary working environment. Residents get to determine the structure of the residency, their creative intentions and workflow. The residency supports interaction with local artists, thinkers and makers; a deep understanding and experience of Indian urban culture, an overall opportunity to connect with and draw inspiration from homegrown communities. Harkat sees the residency as more than a service– a shared responsibility between the place and its temporary inhabitants.
Fees differ according to duration of residency.
