About us

“Visthar was established with the goal of sowing seeds towards a counter culture. We draw on enlivening memories of the journey. Our claim to relevance lies in the fact that we have been responsive to mega stories of national and international scale, stories that we are a part of; albeit peripherally. On the other hand, we have been significantly involved in stories of dissent and authentic expressions of creative alternatives. We have been negotiating and positioning ourselves, as searchers for relevance; striving to be in secular and prophetic tradition. We celebrated thirty years of our journey in 2020.”

David Selvaraj, Founder and Executive Trustee
