Daag Art & Culture

Daag Art & Culture provides a platform for individuals carrying emotional residue, whether personal, historical, or inherited, to express, explore, and reimagine their experiences. Through artistic practice, community engagement, and shared expression, we create space for quiet forms of healing and reflection. We believe that every scar (Daag) holds the potential for strength, beauty, and transformation.
