The Change Starts With You
Embodied Resistance: The Art & Activism of Sathurshan Kannan
About Us
My documentary பரா, created through the Tamil Media Fellowship, shines a light on transgender performers in the Northern Province—sharing their stories of resilience, artistry, and survival. I lead movement‑based workshops and social media advocacy trainings, partnering with grassroots networks across South Asia to advance gender equality, human rights, and media literacy.
Rooted in intersectionality and driven by solidarity, my work blends embodied performance, visual storytelling, and digital activism. Whether on stage, behind the camera, or in a community circle, I strive to create inclusive spaces where silenced voices are heard and celebrated. Through ongoing projects like Becoming the Body, I aim to connect with changemakers worldwide—co‑creating possibilities for belonging, transformation, and collective joy.
Welcome—let’s imagine and build a more just world, together.

PERFORMING
Through Bharathanatyam, I fuse classical technique with queer storytelling. On stage, I challenge norms and embody resilience, crafting immersive performances that amplify marginalized voices and invite audiences to reimagine tradition.
Create
I develop interdisciplinary projects—documentaries, dance workshops, and digital archives—that blend Bharathanatyam, film, and participatory storytelling. My work co‑creates spaces where queer and trans communities reclaim narratives, explore identity, and spark social change.
