without SHAPE without FORM is an assembly of artists, thinkers and cultural practitioners committed to making moments of self-discovery accessible for everyone. Rooted in Sikh philosophical concepts, our contemporary artistic programme enables people to have meaningful conversations about the mind.
Guided by insights and tools from over 500 years of Sikh knowledge, without SHAPE without FORM explores a transformative philosophy that pursues self-mastery in the service of others, connecting courage, compassion and community with a commitment to education, collaboration and exchange.
Whether it’s through curating exhibitions, producing podcasts, publishing articles, delivering workshops or hosting gatherings for Simran — a practice of stillness and deep listening — we create space for artists, creatives and the culturally curious to explore the power of the mind. We believe these encounters help people find peace, resilience and purpose in an increasingly noisy, fractured world.
Social action and openness are central to everything we do. Our approach is boundaryless, experiential and participatory – inviting global voices to a cross-cultural dialogue about purposeful living.
