Manoj Kurian Kallupurackal

Creative Direction

Manoj Kurian Kallupurackal is a freelance brand consultant, designer, and social entrepreneur. His expertise ranges from media design and the development of communication concepts to building brands and communities. After many years working in India, Malaysia, Egypt, and Switzerland, he now lives and works again in his hometown of Cologne. As the founder of the non-profit platform Masala Movement and curator of various cultural projects and event formats, he aims to create spaces for post-migrant perspectives where diversity and identity are celebrated – with respect for the past and fresh perspectives for the future. At WHO CARED, Manoj is responsible for the creative direction. As the son of a nurse with a migration background, he wants to make the experiences of women like his mother visible – with the wish that their life paths and contributions be recognised as an important and self-evident part of German history.
