Invite Us
AUGMENTED REALITY EXHIBITION. We can turn an entire gallery or just a wall into an augmented reality comic book. Using their smart devices, audiences can scan the artwork on the walls and experience augmented reality. Special animation and interactive elements pop-out of the exhibitions, along with real-life stories and voices of women who have survived sexual and acid attacks and faced the ensuing trauma and social stigma.
The artwork is printed on custom made decals and ultra-board, so it is easily removable and inexpensive. The decals can adhere to any surface. Or we can we display them on a single wall.

Want to invite us to your school, festival or organization for a presentation of Priya’s Shakti?
We can organize a dynamic multimedia lecture, a comic book workshop or an augmented reality comic book exhibition.
The power of the comic book series is that it presents very difficult topics in a very approachable and empathetic way. Readers can relate with the characters and story, and especially the main character – Priya, and understand these problems. Creating a female superhero and using the genre of “superheroes” provides readers with a familiarity and accessibility to the comic book and these complex problems.
Audiences: Resonates with university students, teenagers, artists, storytellers, multimedia artists, scholars, NGOs, and survivors of gender-based violence.
Topics: comic books, superheroes, technology and art, augmented reality, documentary films, women’s and gender studies, gender-based violence, South Asian, mythology and Hinduism, and Asian-American studies.
