Devasiachan Benny

I am Devasiachan Benny, an India Creative Economy Scholar by the British Council (2021-22) and an alumnus of Goldsmiths, University of London, in Tourism and Cultural Policy. I have worked and volunteered for varied arts, culture and creative industries, which include It's Penalty International, Woolwich Works, Salaam Balaak Trust and Greenwich Dockland International Festival. Working as a creative writer at exObjects by Artificial Silks resulted in co-authoring an anthology titled "exObjects: The Art of Holding On, Letting Go."
