For years, Curiouswala Studio has been creating art installations, pushing the boundaries of immersive storytelling. However, two years ago, the we realized that none of these works had been dedicated to our own people—Rajasthan. This realization led to the birth of Bhaav Nagari, a fictional village ahead of its time, where “magical objects” are discovered and brought to life. Each object holds a story, inviting people to step in, make choices, and shape their own experience.
In Bhaav Nagari, technology and folklore merge seamlessly—like a radio that tunes into emotions and age instead of frequencies, a weighing scale that determines the fate of a folk tale based on balance, or a rain stick that controls the weather when played. By blending folk traditions with AI, visuals, sound, and interactivity, Bhaav Nagari transforms storytelling into a deeply personal experience—one that transcends language, location, and background, making art truly accessible to all..

Culture is an intricate web of interconnected stories, traditions, and histories. Yet, when documented online, it often becomes rigid and linear, losing much of its richness.
Sandooka offers a different approach—allowing you to explore culture freely, without a fixed path. You can start anywhere, dive into a story, and follow connections that reveal unexpected links between people, places, and traditions. It’s like walking through history’s interconnected threads, uncovering hidden relationships along the way.
More than just an archive, Sandooka Museum is an evolving experience. It preserves culture while enabling a dynamic exploration of its depth and interwoven nature, making history and tradition feel alive.
When the American Center invited us to create an Independence Day exhibition, the team reflected on what independence truly means. While freedom is widely celebrated, many marginalized communities in India continue to struggle, seeing little change. True freedom is not just a historical milestone—it is an ongoing fight for dignity, opportunity, and equality.
To highlight this reality, we collaborated with Kutumb Foundation, asking children from underserved backgrounds, “What does independence mean to you?” Their responses, expressed through art, captured personal definitions of freedom, hope, and dreams.
These artworks became an interactive installation—a floating mosaic of aspirations. As visitors step in, a silhouette in their shape reveals individual pieces of art. But to see the full picture, multiple people must stand together.
Azaadi is a reflection on freedom, inclusion, and the idea that true independence is only realized when we come together.
During COVID in Rajasthan, our founder matched with a girl named Pooja on a dating app. She quickly asked to move the conversation to WhatsApp and began sending repeated video call requests. Ignoring them at first, curiosity led to answering one—only to witness a deepfake scam designed to blackmail victims with intimate recordings.
Realizing the scale of sextortion scams across India, the idea was taken to Goethe-Institut, which supported the project. This led to the creation of Pooja Is Calling—an AI-powered awareness campaign that uses chatbots, pop culture, and music to educate people about digital safety in an engaging and accessible way.
What started as a scam became a wake-up call.

What happens when a character talks back to its creator? Does it enrich storytelling or disrupt the creative process? RedBots was built to explore these questions.
This platform lets writers—without technical skills—bring characters to life with a face, voice, and personality. Authors can converse with them, discovering new dimensions in their narratives.
RedBots also evolved into an NFT collection of conversational videobots, developed with playwrights, artists, and screenwriters from India, Sri Lanka, the UK, and Germany. It amplifies underrepresented voices in both art and tech.
Powered by AI and Dara.network’s video-chat platform, RedBots turns static characters into interactive entities, redefining how we engage with fictional worlds.
This AI-driven interactive artwork bridges past and future, allowing viewers to stand alongside history’s greatest creative minds. Through advanced deep learning and real-time interaction, it reinterprets artistic legacy in a modern context, offering a dynamic exploration of creativity across time.
Showcased at renowned exhibitions, this project provides audiences with a unique, immersive experience that seamlessly blends technology with timeless artistry.

Hum Ek Hain was born from that urgency—a protest artwork that captures the spirit of unity in times of unrest.
This interactive mosaic, composed of thousands of protest images from across India, forms an iconic visual of solidarity.

Rooted in political resistance and personal experience, this project stands as a defiant statement—an assertion that even in times of division, collective strength and visual storytelling can remind us that we are, and always will be, one.
