Stories shape meanings and memory.
Stories tell us about our histories.
Stories offer possibilities and give us hope.

Imagine a large banyan tree, its roots completely interconnected. Imagine a sea of stories, with infinite, colourful, and entangled story threads, that tell stories of hope, resilience, agency, change, of complexities, and diverse emotions, of people and their lives.
Story Beings is like a story-vessel in a sea of stories, bringing forth stories by young girls, women, people of marginalised genders and identities, sharing their lived experiences, exploring their creativity and ideas of the world and themselves.
Through their voice and creativity, they are politicising the personal, sharing their truths about who they are, and what they feel about the world.
Explore unique digital stories that are made by adolescent girls, young women, trans individuals, queer youth, and women in sex work that are from different parts of India, using simple and powerful storytelling tools, to talk about their dreams, hopes, desires, experiences, aspirations and more. Use them as knowledge tools, as insights into people's lives.
