Krantinaari's music weaves together Hindi, English, and Kannada to take on some of India's most pressing social realities: gender inequality, the climate crisis, and the lives of tribal and marginalized women.
She carved out a distinctive voice in Indian hip-hop, rapping about women's empowerment, sustainability, and education with a flow that moves fluently between languages and registers.
Krantinaari co-founded India's first all-female hip-hop collective, Wild Wild Women, which brings together emcees, breakdancers, and graffiti artists under one roof. She has performed at Denmark's Roskilde International Music Festival - a first for Indian hip-hop ! -and completed the OneBeat fellowship residency in the USA, taking her work to genuinely global stages. Rolling Stone India Her discography includes the landmark self-titled debut "Krantinaari" which became something of a women's anthem, as well as more recent releases like "Anushasan" and "Roots" each pushing further into experimental territory while staying rooted in social commentary.
The screening is followed by a pumping rap battle at A La Carte (opposite of Harkat).
Or, if you'd rather watch a film in peace and quiet, then stay at Harkat."
