AS A DALIT WOMAN ARTIST I CHOOSE NOT TO BE SILENT ANYMORE IN THE BRAHMINICAL, PATRIARCHAL, RACIST AND HOMOPHOBIC WORLD OF OPPRESSIVE INJUSTICES - Protest chant 01

2022, Dalit menstrual blood, white cotton fabric, thread, unwanted/used clothes, cotton sheet, 82x74mm

This is my first work engaging with anti-caste art ac- tivism. The chants are echoing the pain, silencing and oppression I have experienced throughout my life within and beyond oppressive pedagogy. In reckoning moments of clarity, I seeked for much needed solidarity, while also acknowledging the oppressive patterns of other social hierarchies.
