Devika Shahani - The Dragon Rose Project
From 2010 to 2019, The Dragon Rose Project marked the anniversary of the 26/11 attacks through a series of commemorative productions that brought Mumbai together in remembrance, reflection, and resilience.
One of the most significant of these was Together as One — We Remember 26/11, presented on the tenth anniversary of the attacks. Conceived as an evening of music, dance, film, and conversation, it honoured the first responders, survivors, families, and citizens who transformed grief into hope and action.
The production invited audiences to reflect on difficult yet necessary questions — Where were you? Why do you still stay? What does safety mean to you? What would you change? — with Mumbai answering in its own words through a series of testimonial films that captured the city's enduring spirit.
CREATED & EXECUTED BY DEVIKA SHAHANI

We will remember this day with performances of music, dance and film — to honour the people, the ordinary people, who survived that time.

PUBLIC CONCERN FOR GOVERNANCE TRUST
Youth for Governance - Unity in Diversity
Engaging the next generation in peace-building, civic responsibility and the values of good governance.
THEME: UNITY IN DIVERSITY
Some partnerships grow deeper with every passing year. Since 2010, The Dragon Rose Project has been working alongside PCGT to create events that bring Mumbai's youth into genuine conversation about governance, accountability and the kind of future they wish to inhabit.
The Youth for Governance programme was born from a simple but powerful belief: that young people are not merely the leaders of tomorrow — they are active citizens today. Through performance, dialogue and creative expression, YFG invites them to engage with the structures that shape their lives, and to discover their own voice within those structures.
This February, young participants gather under the theme of Unity in Diversity — drawing on India's extraordinary plurality as both an inspiration and a reminder of what is worth protecting. It is an afternoon of art and intention, of energy and reflection.
