How do we move through the world?

How do we move through the world, and what invisible forces, structures, and systems shape our movement? How might we imagine alternate ways of existing in public spaces that resist patterns and paths often predetermined for us?

Through participatory research and mapping, I examine our relationships with overlooked markers that influence our movement: hostile architecture, postal codes, passports and visas, maps, nation state borders and identities.

I moved to the United States from India, during dramatic socio-political shifts towards fascism in both these countries while the world increasingly oriented towards extraction and accumulation. higher class gaps and destruction of the planet. My creative work responds to these shifts, using a personal perspective to comment on the broader political context. My work takes many different socially engaged forms including but not limited to improvisation, installations, singing circles, walking together, making a naproom in the mall, writing a letter to a past address and making alternate passports. My work intersects at both personal and political junctures; it is, at large, an attempt to represent lived experience of systemic oppression, offer a means of collective healing and reclaim space for personal and collective liberation
