Pragya Sikka of Friends of Toto led a discussion on December 20 with changemakers, queer persons and allies. It began with an empathy walk and a question: what does a public space mean to you? The group drew parks, libraries, street lights, signboards and clean toilets, and talked about naming pronouns at work.

The cats have made themselves at home
Our little cat friends continue to make themselves at home at aikyam space. As a pet-friendly space, we are exploring small ways to make the environment even more welcoming for animals, creating a place where both people and pets can feel comfortable.
Heavy rain paused all activities for the day
Due to heavy rainfall, all activities at aikyam space were paused for the day to ensure the safety of community members, children, and staff. While the sessions could not take place as planned, the break reminded us of the importance of putting safety first during extreme weather conditions.
A mural of sea and dance began on the walls
The walls of aikyam space began to transform with a new mural created by artist Mr. Krishnan Ghosh . Inspired by the sea and the movement of dance, the artwork brings colour, warmth, and a sense of identity to the space, making it more welcoming for everyone who visits.
