The Things We Watch Together
Care, Culture and Counter - Narrative
We believe every small business is part of a larger community. We dedicate time and resources on events spotlighting writers and artists who challenge mainstream narratives. We also organize film screenings and fundraisers for individuals and organizations affected by systemic oppression and violence.
These events are usually free to the public. When ticketed, ticket proceeds go directly to artists or into covering venue charges. We make no money on community events, and whatever we put into it is our own love and labour.
We rely on our core livelihood to sustain this work: providing stellar creative communication services to clients, companies, and individuals worldwide. If you know a business or individual who aligns with our values and needs impactful creative work, send them our way, so that we can continue to support our communities!
Good Christian Girls Don’t Talk About Caste
In 2025, we brought Kerala’s razor-sharp poet and internet firebrand @iseesomeletters (Aleena) to a packed house at Atta Galatta, Bangalore, for a night of poetry, politics, and unapologetic truth-telling.
With nearly 90k followers and reels that dismantle caste and cultural privilege in under 60 seconds, Aleena is a force. Author of Silk Route (2021) and winner of the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Kanakashree Award (2022), she’s beloved for her fearless voice and blatant refusal to sugarcoat systemic violence. Moonbird managed the curation, planning, and full-house turnout for this unforgettable evening.
Mainstream, Interrupted
We hosted Mainstream, Interrupted, a screening of Dhadak 2 (2025) followed by a conversation with filmmaker Shazia Iqbal and poet Aleena. The evening explored what it means to disrupt the familiar Bollywood frame with caste, gender, and political truth, and what happens when mainstream screens are made to face what they usually erase.
Shazia, known for Bebaak, Sacred Games, Lust Stories and her socially conscious visual storytelling, spoke about craft, cinema, and pushing back against prescribed narratives. Aleena, Dalit feminist poet and founder of @iseesomeletters, brought her fire and tenderness to the room on silence, resistance, and the tired tropes we collectively must fight.
All proceeds supported the venue, artist travel, and Mumbai for Peace.
