  • Is Food Resistance? Sri Vamsi Matta on Caste and Cooking

    Is Food Resistance? Sri Vamsi Matta on Caste and Cooking
    Oct 7 2025
    Caste doesn’t just decide where you live or who you marry. It decides what you eat and who you eat with. In 'Come Eat With Me', Indian artist Sri Vamsi Matta turns a communal meal into an act of resistance. Through shared eating, he challenges centuries-old ideas of purity and pollution and rehumanises the Dalit experience beyond pity or pain. Can a meal break caste? Vamsi sits down with Dilpreet Kaur Taggar in our Sydney studios to unpack. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube.

  • Indo Warehouse: Turning House music into a home

    Indo Warehouse: Turning House music into a home
    Sep 23 2025
    Born in the 1980s on dancefloors built by people of colour, house music has always been about belonging. In 2022, Armaan Gupta (Kahani) and Kunal Merchant asked: where is that space for South Asian house? From that question came 'Indo Warehouse', a collective and label bringing the pulse of the subcontinent into global electronica. Ahead of their second Australian tour, they sit down with Suhayla Sharif to talk about why nostalgia hits harder on the dancefloor and the set their fans dubbed "Indochella", a nickname that may hint at where this movement is heading.
