Purple People

Rising Flame conceptualised and curated the first-ever, unique gender track at the international Purple Fest called Purple People, from January 11 to 13, 2024 at Kala Academy Goa to spotlight the challenges faced by women, gender-marginalised persons and all people with disabilities, and their specific life experiences. Under Purple People, we organised panels, masterclasses, and a reading session covering work and leadership, accessibility, mobility, technology, sexuality, disabled parenting, climate change, consent, and more. This booklet aims to capture the diverse conversations that took place then and bring it all together. These illustrations and pieces will challenge stigma to show women and persons with disabilities as full human beings with lives and careers, with ambition and love, as parents and caregivers.
