Chai Pe Charcha | Dhruva Balram

‘South Asian Masculinity’ with Dhruva Balram
Join us in a quiet corner of the market and engage in meaningful dialogue over complex topics stemming from South Asian culture – all over bottomless chai.

In this session, Indian-Canadian journalist Dhruva invites us to reflect on South Asian masculinity, digging into the influence of migration and diaspora, inherited ideas of manhood, intergenerational expectations, and more.

Fascinated by culture, politics and identity, Dhruva is a thoughtful and prolific writer whose words find home in The Guardian, NPR, Vice, etc. He is also the co-founder of Dialled In, a platform that champions South Asian music, culture and community – one that is dear to our hearts.

Chatting over chai may be a simple act, but we believe it is a powerful one – new friendships are forged, old taboos are aired, and plentiful perspectives are shared.

Along with spicy-sweet chai, each ticketholder will receive a token to replenish energies with a savoury Dishoom snack after the event – for redeeming at the Dishoom Loves Market stalls only.

Limited tickets – act swiftly!
