29 is a not-for-profit global multimedia visual album celebrating the Yogyakarta Principles, with films from 29 countries exploring queer rights through local stories.
India chapter is a 10-minute dance film and a short docu-fiction film centred on Principle 3 of the Yogyakarta Principles - the right to self-determination, particularly in relation to trans people’s right to self-identify in India and against the recent Trans Bill that was passed.
The film was made in collaboration with trans and queer activists, artists, lawyers, musicians, and cultural workers. It follows a queer body moving through isolation, memory, archives, and community, gradually becoming part of something larger.
The song has been written and performed primarily by trans musicians, singers, and writers in India.
