ADDA #2

by Ankita Mukherji
£7.00

ADDA is a zine that explores practices of organising and interdependence – in what ways do we support others, and are supported in return? How do the relationships in our lives – the people who love us and hold us up – play a role in who we are and the work we do?

Each issue is its own conversation exploring these questions. Named after the Bengali word আড্ডা (adda) meaning a casual gathering with loved ones, the conversations flow and meander, with awkward pauses or moments of tension or changes in direction, emulating the slowness and intimacy of an adda session.

This second issue features curator Gisselle Girón Casas and artist Ingrid Pumayalla, two Peruvian practitioners currently based in the UK. Unfolding over four hours across lunch and a colouring session, we speak about Gisselle and Ingrid’s individual and shared practices – weaving together personal anecdotes, rants, reminiscences, and future desires.
