Issue 02: The Water Edit

LURU’s second issue centres on water—its politics, presence, and the deep cultural memory it holds in Bengaluru. Featuring interviews, personal essays, dance and performance coverage, historical reflections, and fiction, The Water Edit asks how we live with water in the age of climate disruption.

From lakes lost and reclaimed, to rain, groundwater, and inequity, this issue invites readers to consider the city’s shifting ecological and cultural landscapes—without nostalgia, but with clarity and care.
