Hari V is the ultimate queer uncle. He self‐describes as having the aesthetic of Scar (the lion) with the heart of Robin Hood (the fox) with a little bit of that South Asian flair. He is always up for a good time, while also careful and caring in the ways he is engaging with community. Hari is deeply committed to creating and maintaining space for 2SQTBIPOC performers and ensuring that different modes of gender expression and performance are also highlighted in the shows he produces.
