This Sunday, at the TGP Sessions, we look back at the early public internet in India (roughly mid-90s to 2000). This is an ‘open table’ event: some pre-decided speakers, but anyone with stories to share can ask for a seat at the table.

Instead, please fill out this questionnaire and join us at an open house this Sunday, 24 August, 5:30 p.m., where we will discuss your feedback and suggestions.

We had to call off the feedback/workshop session because we got no submissions.
The open.mic is still open. Submit by tomorrow night (India time) to get yourself a slot.
Next in our open platform showcase series: an open mic for amateur stand-up comedians. The best submissions get a feedback and tips session with an expert mentor, Aditi Mittal, before they take their turn at the mic.

We did not get any submissions in time for the workshop with Aditi, so that part is cancelled.
The form remains open for submissions to the open mic.

Update:
We have extended the deadline until Sunday night (15 June).
Anyone submitting after that might still get a chance to perform, but you won’t get to learn from Aditi Mittal. And that would be a waste of an opportunity to learn from a pro.
Summon up your best words and courage and apply!

Last couple of days to register and also get a free workshop with Aditi Mittal!

Do you make good photographs, but don’t think you know enough yet?

Why not submit to our open gallery, where we also have a couple of experts lined up to offer you feedback and tips?

At the TGP Sessions, we’re doing an open gallery — like an open mic, but for visual artists — and want to feature artists at the early stages of their careers and dedicated amateurs too.
Please help us reach more people?
