Hasan’s contribution

Hasan Shahrukh joined the Propaganda Narratives residency and contributed creative technology to Mining Hate. Kaivalya Plays identifies him as a resident artist and continuing creative technologist. This entry records his contribution to a collaborative work.

Performance and participation

Mining Hate uses audience-generated material and improvised theatre to examine digital manipulation and harassment. Kaivalya Plays records a Hamburg premiere in June 2023; fringe ensemble documents a guest performance in Bonn on 7 June 2024.

Dates kept in context

Hasan’s portfolio records the residency in March 2023, while Kaivalya Plays describes the New Delhi residency as April 2023. Those dates are retained as a source discrepancy; neither is presented as the other’s correction.
