people & Culture.
Vasi is an independent magazine documenting tribes, disappearing traditions, and vulnerable communities through exploration and independent storytelling. Our work is for curious readers who wish to look beyond the ordinary and reconnect with our ancient roots that continue to shape the human experience. We publish raw, vital and unbiased narratives while honouring the conscious isolation and dignity of indigenous communities, while striving to empower them by promoting their handlooms, handicrafts and cultural heritage, ensuring that knowledge and traditional ways of life continue.

issue iii
karnataka.
On an expedition to track the present story of the Halakki people in the Gokarna region of the Indian state of Karnataka, we tell a unique story of a fragile landscape they call home. Along an untouched coastline guarded by lush green hills, where songs, myths, rituals, and memories have echoed for generations, a proposed port now threatens to transform this land and the Halakki identity. Through intimate stories, photography and a short film, this issue explores what is at stake when development arrives at the doorstep of a culture whose heritage is inseparable from its landscape.
