  • South Asian & First Nations Artists Unite For The BhuMeJha Project

    South Asian & First Nations Artists Unite For The BhuMeJha Project
    Feb 19 2026
    Bhumi means land in Sanskrit. Boodja means land in Noongar. The BhuMeJha Project brings both into the same space and it’s coming to Perth Festival. It unpacks the Indian concept of rasa, immersion over spectacle, and what it means to practise custodianship rather than ownership on this land. Suhayla Sharif speaks with creative producer Kamal Thurairajah and dance mentor Sukhi Shetty Krishnan about their collaboration between South Asian, Malaysian and First Nations performance traditions.
