My research engages with textual and geospatial ‘data’ for public-spirited needs. This may take the form of archiving, designing digital interactions with the archives and developing data-methods to make these archives. My engagements with the urban through SafeYelli have largely driven my geospatial and civic research interests. They have grown to take political forms and positions over the course of my education at Srishti.
At Aruvu, I work with the Participatory Geospatial Lab,
constructing and developing methods and technologies to enable
engagements on the field and online. I am currently working on the Constitutional Observer and
with Aruvu Collaboratory. I maintain the
SafeYelli in Bengaluru project.
I am a 2024 graduate out of Srishti Manipal Institute of Art,
Design and Technology. Reach me at adhavan [dot] sivaraj16 [at] gmail
