hello from ar•ram•bam 👋🏾

What’s up fam 👋🏾

It’s been 2 whole years of our Tamil movement we fondly call ar•ram•bam (and exactly 2 years since our first-ever Tamil Meetup in NYC!) — and trust us, we’re just getting started 🚀

2025 is gonna be a INSANE year for our community. We’ve partnering with several Tamil American creators to celebrate and share our culture in new ways and we can’t wait for y’all to experience it. And with that, we’re kicking off this email newsletter to bring y’all along for the ride. Buckle up — you’ll be hearing more from us soon! 💎

In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek at what we’ve been up to lately 👇🏾

FORMS, designed by visual designer-game designer duo Akshay and Sunanda, is a contemporary interpretation of the Kolam, a South Indian motif that exists at the intersection of art, math, community and collaboration.
