G5A is a community for experimental and independent arts practice. The G5A Foundation for Contemporary Culture was envisioned and founded by Anuradha Parikh, an architect and filmmaker based in Mumbai.
Her wide-ranging independent and collaborative projects and her commitment towards creating deeper socio-cultural dialogues have organically led to the formation of G5A, a multi-functional community space and cultural center in Mumbai with a programming that spans across cinema, music, theatre, performance art, literature and more.
The G5A warehouse is strategically located within the old mill area of Mumbai. The textile mills fostered a unique culture that shaped Mumbai during the 19th and early 20th century. Mill workers patronized literary traditions, theater, folk and popular arts. Since the decline of these mills, the cultural landscape has also been impacted. G5A is an ode to that spirit!
Live at the Warehouse aims to bring together independent artists to share their stories. It is a beautifully curated series the aim of which is for the audience to discover new genres, new artists, new experiences like never before in a space that is malleable and yielding.
