How do you bring a mural about Mapusa to life through print?
You turn it into a doodlebook.

Mapusa Mogi is a community public art project opposite St. Jerome Church, in the heart of Mapusa, created by Orijit Sen and People Tree Studio (@peopletree).
This doodlebook was made as part of the fundraising campaign for the project.

Inside, you’ll find line drawings, like @manuelarrrtista's drawing of the St. Jerome Church, placed through the pages for you to colour, fill, respond to, or simply sit with.
It’s a small way to carry a piece of Mapusa’s spirit, and to add your own hand to it.

Some things just shrink your stress away — literally.

On September 13th, we had a Shrinky Dink Workshop with Rithika Gomes, where we turned plastic sheets into the cutest charms, keychains, and earrings imaginable. From doodles to shrinky magic, everyone left with pocket-sized pieces of joy (and a new obsession).

Big love to everyone who joined in and to Rithika for bringing the heat... gun.

Kala Curry × LAFA × Manasai Art Studio presents: Ink-linations with Manasa: An Inking Basics Workshop

Join us on 26th October, 4–6 p.m., at LAFA Shop & Bindery, Caranzalem, Goa, as Manasa takes you through the art of ink—brushes, pens, pencils—revealing how simple strokes can create depth, contrast, and dynamic illustrations.

What does ink-lusivity mean to you? This October, we’re celebrating Inktober with an open table — because ink isn’t just for sketchbooks. It belongs to poets, doodlers, storytellers, journal-keepers, calligraphers, note-takers and anyone who lets ink spill into their day. This time we're ink-luding a chance to ink on cards made from other mediums (other than paper) too.

On 5th Oct, 4:00 p.m. at LAFA Shop & Bindery, Caranzalem, join us for an evening of swapping tiny, original works of art (think palm-sized masterpieces). ATCs are about community, play and connection — no money, just trades.

Rules of the game:
1. Size: 2.5" x 3.5"
2. Any medium of ink + any kind of card (not just paper!)
3. Must be signed & dated on the back (IG handle optional)
4. Trade only — not for sale, no re-trading once swapped
5. All experience levels welcome
6. Suggested: bring at least 10 cards for maximum fun
7. Orientation: portrait or landscape, your choice

We’ve listed some ink types (slide 8), but honestly, any ink goes.

💌 Special shoutout to @curiousletters for writing our prompt card — we couldn’t think of a better way to kick this off.

To join: DM us by Oct 3rd to register your name — so we can make you a cute nametag to wear while trading.

Note: you can bring your own cards or pick up some precut cards from LAFA Shop & Bindery.

Artist Trading Cards return on 7th September, opening Climate Week with love, care, and creativity. This time in collaboration with @greenlane.tv and @climateweekindia

Edit: Please RSVP/DM/Pre-register with us by letting us know your name and phone number so we could make a nametag in advance for your artwork display.

The prompt: “Nature’s Details I Adore.”
A reminder to notice the small things that make us fall in love with the world — the call of a bulbul, the veins of a leaf, the salty breeze. Let’s begin climate conversations not with fear, but with what we cherish.

Rules of the Game:
• Size: 2.5 x 3.5 inches
• Any medium welcome
• Signed + dated on the back, with Instagram account handles (only if you would prefer)
• Trade only – no sales
• Don’t trade someone else’s card
• All experience levels welcome
• Bring at least 10 cards for a fun trading night! + 1 card for the community board at LAFA
• Any orientation – portrait or landscape
• Keep it neat and professional

This time we're adding a +1 community card for LAFA.
It’ll stay on our Community Board and be documented through the week as part of Climate Week.

If you’re outside Goa, send your cards in by commenting "Address" on this post, and they’ll still join our wall of love.

Let’s trade, talk, and remind ourselves why we care. Because the details we adore are worth protecting. 💚

On 9th August, our zine-making table turned into a cosy corner of reflection with Rithika Gomes (@rithika.drg). She brought along her beautiful zine Gentle Reminder and invited everyone to create gentle reminders — for themselves, for someone else, or for the world.

Some arrived with ideas tucked in their pockets, others let their pages unfold on the spot. The results? Thoughtful, heartfelt zines that felt like little hugs in paper form.

Go check out Gentle Reminder by Rithika — it might just give you the nudge you didn’t know you needed.

A birthday gift that’s equal parts personal and practical.
This sketchbook was made for Simran (@sim._run) —who paints with acrylics and needs something sturdy and special.

The cover artwork, ‘Tropical Escape’ by our friend Dinkar (@dinkar_kushwaha), was made while he was working with us in Goa, inspired by Benaulim Beach. It was first used for a set of books we did for a small conference hosted by our friend Katha.

We added “hand bound for Simran” on the back, and her birthday (23.06.2025) on the spine, just to make it hers.

Product Details:
- Size: 18 x 18 cm
- Pages: 128 blank pages
- Paper: 220 GSM handmade cotton paper
- Binding: Casebound (Hardcover)
- Cover: White handmade cotton
- Cover Art: ‘Tropical Escape’ by @dinkar_kushwaha
- Custom Text: “hand bound for Simran” on the back cover
- Date on Spine: 23.06.2025
- Gifted by @fanciful.unicorn

13 years since Gangs of Wasseypur changed cinema—and our playlists—forever (Part 1 released on 22nd June, 2012).

So we made a book. Not just any book… one inspired by that banger of a track: “I Am a Hunter.”
It’s dangerous, cheeky, and stacked with ammo (blank pages, obviously).

This one’s for everyone who still quotes Faizal Khan in casual conversation and swears by Sardar’s rage.

Tag @anuragkashyap10 and let him know the “hunter” spirit lives on…
In pages now. Not just bullets.

Take it Easy, Urvasi – because not every mountain needs climbing, some just need side-eye.

For days when you need to rant, plan revenge (nicely), or just doodle your way back to peace – this notebook gets it.

She's sassy, she's strong, and she's here to hold your thoughts like she holds her chill.
