Antakshari

Antakshari is a video project built around a collective language and singing game. I invited friends from different cultural and national backgrounds to take part in a game inspired by Antakshari, a popular form of musical play in India and neighbouring regions, where one song leads to another through its final sound or letter.

Through song, hesitation, laughter and translation, the video creates a space of informal encounter. Language becomes less a fixed marker of origin than a shared material: something passed between people, adapted, misheard, remembered and transformed through play.
