INAC COMMUNITY PROMPTS

Public space is personal.

Public space is where life happens: on streets and footpaths, in buses and parks, at markets and cafés, on the way home, and in the places where we pause, meet, move, rest, celebrate, and belong.

INAC Community Prompts is an ongoing invitation to share what public space feels like to you.

Through writing, photographs, artwork, poems, memories, and ideas, we are building a collective picture of safety, access, joy, belonging, exclusion, and everyday life in public spaces across India.

No expertise required. Just your perspective.

My Public Space, My Way

Think of a public space you use: a street, park, bus stop, market, train, café, footpath, library, beach, playground, place of worship—or somewhere else entirely.

What helps you feel welcome there? What makes moving through it difficult, uncomfortable, or excluding?

Share a moment, memory, feeling, barrier, route, detail, or change you wish to see.

Submissions close: 30 September 2026.

Submit Your Response

You can submit:

A written reflection, story, memory, observation, poem, or idea
