Our bodies tell stories in sickness and in health. Too often, these stories go unheard. At Aseemkala, we believe these stories need to be shared and to be seen.

Our mission is to reframe medical narratives in the context of traditional arts and culture to empower womxn to realize their potential as changemakers in the world of healthcare.

Welcome to Aseemkala, ‘Art Beyond Borders’.   

 

 

@leila.mire is premiering her piece “Devour” at the @stayhomefilmfest on April 10th at 8:00 PM Our newest fellows shined at the 1st Annual Reimagining Medicine Festival at @geiselmed_dartmouth! What a milestone. Social Medicine on Air podcast interviewed our founder, Shilpa Darivemula, MD, MS, on her journey through medicine and dance. And when I say “journey”, I mean a global expedition! Aseemkala’s Core Fellow, Shradha Chhabria, is featured on the landing page of the @intrainingdoc website! Take a look at how her childhood experiences and current training have given her insight into changing the way we approach obesity medicine! Performers in any sphere have felt the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic, mainly the transition to an online platform as their primary stage. This transition may unequally challenge women of color. February 3rd is Elizabeth Blackwell’s birthday. She was the first female medical doctor in the U.S. Since then, females make up 1/3 of the active field and there are no signs of stopping our growth with women now outnumbering the male counterpart in medical schools. Here’s to you, ladies! Go be great! The Dance and Theater Arts Forum is a new space our friends at @amwadoctors created to act as a “platform for the exchange of research and ideas to blend the performing arts with the practice of medicine”. Incredibly excited to reveal our latest choreography, with @swetha_kasetty and @natyaroha --two incredible Kuchipudi and Bharatanatyam dancers in the Upper Valley!
