To whomever it concerns:

I have known bea for 8 months and have been working with her on nungu's surveillance project commissioned by rhizome. I've been working on this project as asst. graphic designer.
It has been a shock to read vishal's malicious accusations.

Bea is the founder of nungu and it's principal member and invites people to work with her on nungu projects, such as the one we are working on presently.

I have seen "mrs. jeevan jham" being worked on by bea and vivek sasikumar since I've known her - after vishal was asked to leave nungu (cuz he fell in love with bea and got too aggressive).
That is the last I heard about him - he never claimed any authorship for any projects until he heard about the grants, despite this project's progress being displayed online throughout.

I would also like to add that bea is not 'rolling in grant money' as vishal implied - the money was spent on the equipment. In fact, bea is paying me out of her own pocket.

I've been in the nungu office throughout all the abusive mails and phone calls - it sucks and I really just want this to stop.

I've enjoyed working with nungu, I think it's a great space for artists to collaborate. I'm glad that such a space exists in mumbai - it's one of the first i've come across and I look forward to future collaborations. It would be a shame if this space were to suffer because of vishal's accusations. As it is, we have been working quite hard to implement the project and are quite distressed that one disgruntled person could jeopordize all our efforts.
