Poets of Mumbai, in collaboration with Apre Art House, is conducting a special Pride poetry walk, The Weight of Breath, this weekend. Participants will be able to explore an insightful exhibition tour, followed by a 15-minute writing session, and then a poetry circle where everyone shares what they’ve written. The art exhibition A Pound of Feathers by Pragati Dalvi Jain explores themes such as identity, motherhood, and solidarity.

Ripal Dixit, a city curator for Poets of Mumbai (Poets of Community), explains the programme, “The highlight is the art exhibit by Jain. We’ll also end with a special something — at the end of the poetry circle. Each poet will write their anchor word on their palm — a quiet promise to carry forward the feeling that moved them most.” Dixit adds, “It’s about blending visual art with poetry and giving everyone a safe, inspiring space to express themselves, especially on themes that matter.”
