About BROWNSTAR
The Revolutionaries: North Star | South Star
Coconspirators: The Third Dimension
BROWNSTAR bursts forth from the pens of poet-performers Pushkar “NORTH STAR” Sharma and Sathya “SOUTH STAR” Sridharan, who joined together in 2007. The duo premiered their stage show FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF WHITE at the New York City International Fringe Theatre Festival in August 2010.
BROWNSTAR annually produces UNIFICATION, a joint celebration of the Indian and Pakistani Independence Days, in New York City. In 2010 the show sold out Joe's Pub and featured performances by The Kominas, Hari Kondabolu, Ajay Naidu, and Fair & Kind. BROWNSTAR has performed at venues across the country including Da Poetry Lounge (LA), Literary Death Match (SF), The Bowery Poetry Club (NYC), and Theatre Off Jackson (Seattle). They have worked with the likes of David Fincher and Anupam Kher; shared the stage with Def Poets Kelly Tsai, Beau Sia, and Shihan, and emcees Magnetic North, Taiyo Na, and iLL-Literacy.
In a sky of black and white,
a BROWNSTAR shines bright.

About THE BROWNSTAR REVOLUTION
THE BROWNSTAR REVOLUTION unites socially-minded BROWN artists, thinkers, and revolutionaries -- creating a nexus where new and needed voices can forge a fresh conversation on hyphenation, identity, and diasporic politics. THE BROWNSTAR REVOLUTION unites ALL BROWN, embracing our ability to walk forward together - not just as hyphenated-Americans, but as one people: To believe that this is possible and necessary is to be a BROWNSTAR.
