This show is the beginning of something which was never meant to grow quietly in places of creativity but always defiant in the adversity of oppression. Yet here we are finding gaps between the exclusive, unaccommodating walls; resisting all the storms that arrived during this project, casteist storms which will certainly haunt us beyond. While the strength of our ancestral resilience is nourishing us, we are trying to survive here and we are dreaming to thrive here. Through our presented work, we are intending to rewrite this oppressive history by resisting the imposed shame onto our body, food, touch and love.
In adversity.
In the fractures of your walls.
In resistance.
We are here to germinate.
