Stage Rabbit
Down the Rabbit Hole is an online pavilion by Stage Rabbit Studio for the Wrong Biennale 2025. The pavilion is living, evolving, and foregrounds the experimental and performative gestures of Stage Rabbit artists. It invites encounters between the human, the digital, and the networked, offering a site of rehearsal, reconfiguration, and unexpected discovery.
​
Stage Rabbit is a practice dedicated to accumulating and disseminating gestures of and at encounters—human, hybrid, and multi-species; belonging and disconnection across cultures, cities, ideologies, and diasporas; and expressions of sex, sexuality, and their constructed spatialities. It also navigates networks in philosophy, education, and exhibition design. Initiated in 2018 by Aishwarya Kumar, Stage Rabbit has been evolving its conditions, grounds, and organizational culture since 2024. Behind the scenes, a six-year friendship sustains this transnational space, guided by shared interests and mutual support.
Suruchi Pawar
Suruchi works at the intersections of strategy, curation, and artistic research across performance and visual arts. Her practice engages with context-responsive, artist-led, and research-driven frameworks, navigating institutional structures, access to resources, and transnational collaborations with critical attention to power and relational ethics.
Over fourteen years, she has developed work spanning strategic consulting, artist development, curatorial collaboration, organisational systems design, funding and grant strategy, and research. She collaborates with independent artists, collectives, and cultural organisations, interrogating how modes of support and production shape practice and imagining ways of working beyond extractive models.
​
Since 2024, she has collaborated with Stage Rabbit, supporting diasporic performance practices and helping reimagine the ecology of cultural production.
Aishwarya Kumar
Kumar engages in systems that examine and order the world – from form to entanglements –through performance. Her research and practice intersect corporeal literacies, neuroscience, somatics, political philosophy, movement and visual arts with disciplinary rigour of training and architectural structures, seeking to produce tensions for non-modes of learning and perception. Over the years, she has produced work ranging from research, writing, editorials, performances, mixed media installations, paintings and media art, publications, and community-centred projects across Mumbai, Bangalore, London, Fort Kochi, Greece, Goa, Utrecht, and Lisbon.
To construct experiences for new ways of perception, she regularly undergoes intensives that demand repetition such as bodywork, diving, academia, physical theatre, medicine and more that allow her to explore the research on herself. All of which feed her examination of how bodies and the hideousness of movement produce meaning, counter-normative spaces, relations, cultures, and knowledge.
