Aseemkala means ‘arts without borders’ in Sanskrit.

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.

For women around the world who often have the least access to healthcare and least agency in medicine, traditional dance remains a space where their knowledge and roles are celebrated.

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