For Us, By Us fellow Priyanka Suryaneni was awarded the East Bay Fund for Artists grant from the East Bay Community Foundation for her film, Inkilab (Revolution). All works supported by the East Bay Fund for Artists highlight narratives of cultural identity, resistance, healing, and belonging, centering the histories and futures of BIPOC communities in the East Bay.
Inkilab (Revolution) follows dancer Joti Singh as she seeks to reclaim the tarnished legacy of her great-grandfather, Bhagwan Singh Gyanee—a freedom fighter in the San Francisco–based Ghadar Party, the first organized transnational Indian freedom movement led by immigrant workers.
