Pratyush Pushkar &

Riya Raagini a.k.a.Bariya
is a queer transdisciplinary duo from New Delhi, India.

Their practice seeds itself
as poetry in meditation synthesizing and reconciling through the digital tactility
of sounds, images, philosophy, and language, aiming to examine and host alternative forms of cognition and spirituality in a background of decolonial service, non-cooperation and care.

Grains of poetry in noncooperation, threaded into night ragas, flowing (soul techno) through
med dew dims...

Kalachakra gathers temporal hacks within an archive of translated Hindi poetry spanning epochs. Synthesizing fragments in Hindi poetics with  contrapuntal plead and spirituality,

BaRiya’s anthology represents language’s quantum and inherited nature. Or with what they describe as »chants and lore emanating from language’s dips into temporal devices,

of disrememberment, of devotion, of ruins, of elsewhere(s), of waiting, of delays; of restfulness.«
