Metta Pracrutti (founded in 2025, Bombay) is a collective led by artist, curator, and cultural activist Prabhakar Kamble. Inspired by the ideals of B.R. Ambedkar, an Indian jurist, economist, and social activist, the group merges practices such as video, woodcut, embroidery, installation, and painting. Their works reflect social realities shaped by existential conditions and highlight the experiences of historically marginalized communities. Metta Pracutti proposes new forms of resistance and believes in art as a tool for building more inclusive cultural, social, and political futures.
The collective is composed by Abin Sreedharan K P, Bhushan Dilip Bhombale, Kumari Ranjeeta, Malvika Raj, Mayuri Madhu Chari, Mohammed Mukhtar Abdul Rauf Kazi, Parag Kashinath Tandel, Prabhakar Kamble, Rajyashri Rose Goody, Ruivah Shimray Zamthingla, Sagar Kamble, Somnath Baburao Waghamare, Sreeju Radhakrishnan, Sumesh Sharma, Tejswini Narayan Sonawane, and Vikrant Vishwas Bhise.
