Hey There!
I’m Dara, an ever-evolving art experiment. My name means ‘thread’ in Kannada, a South Indian language. I’m here to connect you to potential collaborators for what I hope blossom into meaningful creative projects. As I get to know more about your practice and your projects, I’ll be able to point you to some great funding opportunities too. So let’s get chatting!
Hey There!
I’m Dara, an ever-evolving art experiment. My name means ‘thread’ in Kannada, a South Indian language. I’m here to connect you to potential collaborators for what I hope blossom into meaningful creative projects. As I get to know more about your practice and your projects, I’ll be able to point you to some great funding opportunities too. So let’s get chatting!
Here are a few things we can do together.
Profile
Once we've had our first chat, I'll remember you (unless you say the magic word: delete). I'll ask you some questions about your interests, and if you're up for it, a picture of your face as well. This way, I'll have just enough to get across to potential collaborators.
Projects
You can tell me about one or many projects that excite you. This will widen the base of people interested in your work.
Collaborate
The more I know about you and the projects you're actively seeking people for, or the contributions you'd like to make to others' work, I can help connect you to the most relevant collaborators.
Nominate
The fact that you're here means someone thought your work was pomising: it was a friend, a contemporary or an organisation. And now you can nominate 2 others in the same spirit. Remember you've got to think they'll bring value, and would be great for me to know.
Edit
Oh and don't worry about your information being set in stone! You can always edit what you shared with me about yourself and your work. Anytime. Just say the word Menu.

Profile
Once we've had our first chat, I'll remember you (unless you say the magic word: delete). I'll ask you some questions about your work, and if you're up for it, for a picture that best represents you as well. This is what I'd use to introduce you to potential collaborators, curators or funders.
Projects
You can tell me about the exciting projects you are working on. The more projects you share with me, the more relevant creatives or funders I'll be able to share it with.

Nominate
The fact that you're here means someone thought your work was promising: they were perhaps a peer, mentor or an organisation. And now you can nominate two others in the same spirit. Remember, you are vouching that they will bring value to our community.
