Basement Mail Club is a limited run (50 pack) monthly mail club which collaborates with emerging Indian artists and brings their art out of screen and into your hands!!

I started Basement Mail Club as a part of BSMNT, a visual archive documenting emerging Indian artists and art history. I started the club to celebrate emerging visual art from India and bring it out of screens. This also helps artists have a platform to showcase their work and monetize it (through the club).

Hand-developed silver gelatin prints, stereoviews for antique viewers, or alternative-process studies. No digital ink or mass reproduction—just deliberate, small-batch analog work delivered the old-fashioned way.

Each month's batch closes on the 20th. Signups before the cutoff get the upcoming release; signups after roll into the next month.

Prints are exposed, developed, washed, and packed by hand in San Francisco during the final week of the month.

Envelopes ship via USPS on the 1st of every month.
