About Queer Caravan

The Queer Caravan is a collaborative residency program led by the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan, the French Institute in India, and The Queer Muslim Project, with support from the German-French Cultural Fund. This unique initiative brings together queer storytellers and artists from France, Germany, and India to amplify underrepresented LGBTQIA+ voices and foster cross-cultural dialogue.

About the Rainbow Lit Fest 

The Rainbow Lit Fest – Queer And Inclusive, seeks to be inclusive, bringing together different identities and sections of society to explore common ground. The hope is that ultimately we collectively stitch together more informed narratives about diversity. Sitting pretty much at the intersections of alternative and mainstream, the Fest is a mix of different forms of expression such as prose, poetry, art, music, dance, films, talks and discussions.
