Sandbox Collective is a women-led, feminist arts organisation comprising women from very diverse backgrounds working at the intersection of art and gender.
We started in 2013 with the motive of creating better access to the arts. Our journey thus far has seen us take on multiple roles, including that of creative producers, curators and presenters of performances and arts festivals across India and Internationally.
Over the years our ideas on what art means to us, its place in our world, our responsibilities to it and to society have constantly evolved; evolved with the paths we're walking with a multitude of incredible artists and fellow humans. Our hope and dream is for a compassionate feminist world with more community-led arts spaces where artists work for, and with each other.
Studio 345
Our most recent endeavour has been the creation of Studio 345 in January' 2024. This is an intimate, creative, gathering space in the heart of Cooke Town, Bangalore. The studio hosts a permanent feminist library with a growing collection of books, zines and periodicals.
It also hosts an artists' showcase every month featuring the works of an individual artist or collective. Other events include workshops, classes and events centred around language, books, literature and publishing.
Studio 345 is set up with the aim of creating neighbourhood hubs with easier access to and for art and artists and to integrate arts into our communities.
All events and activities are free, unticketed and open to the public.
Our library doors are open Monday to Saturday, from 11 AM to 4 PM. Drop by to read, explore, and immerse yourself in our collection. Got books to share? We’re always grateful for your donations. Help us grow this space together!
