This weekend, the Vikalp Archive brings The Lightning Testimonies by Amar Kanwar to South Mumbai. This tell-all documentary reflects upon shattering experiences of sexual violence. The body becomes centralu00a0- as a site for honour and humiliation and also for dignity and protest. As the stories unfold, women from different times and regions come forward. Narratives hidden within a blue window or the weave of a cloth appear, disappear and are then reborn in another vocabulary at another time.
