The Badu Collective

The day-to-day lives of a community of people, not related by blood, who have been living in an alternative family since the early 90s as seen by those who grew up in the Collective and form the second generation. In a family that cuts across barriers of religion, caste, region and class, we live together, eat together and share all our resources. This is our way of talking about our little collective island in the midst of a stormy sea of individualism that is out there in the real world.

Scenes from Badu Center

The Gate leading to the "center" where we live

The "Gol-Ghar" where we eat, get-together and meet

And when it comes to decorating the Center nobody minds getting their hands dirty

Phochke (Anirban) the youngest member trying his hand at whitewashing

Ghontu (Sanchayan) art-enthusiast in making

We grow most of our food on our farm

Poltu Da and Phocke, who doesn't look too happy with the heat

Chapa Masi ( the commander-in-chief for all the children) and Mamoni Pishi (head chef in the Collective kitchen)

Obviously, nothing better than living on a farm
