What’s That Green? Governance Lab is excited to launch an open call for projects that demonstrate good practice in the long-term co-care and co-maintenance of urban green spaces together with civil society.
We are not looking for governance models where green spaces are solely managed by public or private actors, nor where citizens are acting entirely on their own. Our focus is on blended stewardship models - where cities, private organizations, and civil society care for green spaces together.

India has a strong tradition of films that explore cities as characters in themselves — their social dynamics, architecture, chaos, and contradictions. Over three days, the Nagari Film Festival presents a curated lineup of Indian films and discussions that engage with urban life through fiction, documentary, and experimental cinema.
The festival opens with the Nagari 2025 Award Ceremony, premiering this year’s anthology of short films and initiating a dialogue on the role of the public realm in our cities. The following days feature themed screenings and conversations exploring how cinema reflects, critiques, and reimagines the urban experience.
The Nagari Film Festival is supported by a generous grant from the Tata Trusts.
The project brings together architects, artists, researchers, scientists, and social workers, the project explores how embodied, material, and technological practices can help us rethink our relationship with the planet’s energy infrastructures.
The home is often understood as the physical manifestation of one’s identity, a space shaped by the longing for reprieve from societal expectations. Historically defined by rigid heteronormative ideals of domestic life, the reproduction of these models concretizes a universal, and often restrictive, understanding of what a home should be. TO·BE·LONGING: Portraits of Queer Living seeks to shift this dominant social narrative, focusing on the nuanced existence of queer domesticity, belonging and resilience in spaces for self-determination.
