    paper INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS & MANAGEMENT - WORKSHOP CURATION

    I curated and ran a workshop on content management with regards to Intellectual Property rights and management of talent value. A guest speaker was invited and I also shot a short promotional video which is attached here.

    paper Teaching project as guest faculty

    I come from a culture with mixed ethnicity and faith. Born in a Urdu speaking home, the language comes naturally to me and I have been learning the finer details of this language via reading and writing poetry and verse as well as self schooling myself through conversations and workshops in the language.

    I have been tasked with teaching poetry appreciation to a group of language lovers at an art center in Mumbai. It is a mixed age group class and is a lot of fun because in teaching them, I am getting to learn so much more.

    I cannot attach a lesson plan or a recording of the sessions - but if you were to handle any brand - self or otherwise, I am very aware of cultures and traditions and will be utmost happy to engage with multiple different communities across the globe.
