Women warriors of the 1857 revolt in India
Welcome to my blog!
In this blog, I will be sharing my thoughts on counter-memory discourses and anti-memorials as a form of visual art practice.
I write about the traumatic geopolitical events that I memorialize in my art projects, and what about these events stirred me to make anti-memorials to them.
I also hope to post passages from books that I am currently reading from James E Young, Michele Foucault, Judith Butler, Andreas Huyssen, and other authors whose writings inform my art practice.
