In this episode, Laxmi is in conversation with the Namrata "social media manager of mother earth" Menon who is a videographer/editor based out of Mumbai. Namrata's skill set lies in working on inclusive projects not just by participating in them but by also creating them. Be it working on-ground documenting events to protests, to using reels to talk about laws and acts - she makes the most of every space accessible. But what is the politics of this space like? If activism is a part of all walks of life, how does one rest or can one rest at all? In the eyes of collective revolutions, what do individual efforts amount up to? Tune in to hear Namrata answer all these questions and more on this episode of Lit Nama.
