Women’s Raga Massive (WRM), a Brooklyn Raga Massive project, explores and makes visible the diverse creative work of female-identified artists in a world where those voices are a minority. WRM uses Indian Classical music as a framework to improvise and collaborate while bringing in influences from the diverse cultures of Brooklyn. They seek to create an inclusive platform for individual artists and female-led ensembles to engage in musical conversations highlighting original works, gender issues, cross-cultural dialogue, and achievements of women from the past, whose stories are often untold. WRM hopes to inspire and empower young women of all backgrounds to freely express themselves as creative artists in contemporary America.
