Kalyani Tupkary

Individual United States of America, North America

I like to design objects and experiences, sometimes real, sometimes fictional. An anti-disciplinary designer, I draw, solder, stitch and play with pixels. I am not a specialist. Instead, I inhabit the fuzzier overlap between craft, design and technology. My process starts by steeping in history and rooting in research to unravel the values knotted in our default worldview. I think through making, always with others, playing with the materiality of alternate worlds through code, analogue, digital drawing and electronic textiles.


I conduct unconventional investigations to create artefacts as portals to alternate worlds. These artefacts then become tools for dreaming up new ways of seeing our world. As a critical yet optimistic designer, I employ technology to fulfil poetic needs.

Calendar Collective

Calendar Collective is a living archive of alternate calendars. It is an ongoing investigation for collecting, cataloguing and publishing calendars that are little-known to our world. We use openly contributed voicemails as are our unique research material. The archive offers an uncommon collection of calendars traced through these unwritten and slightly incongruous fragments.
