There is something called the Valliyan wink and a nod. When you are wearing a piece by jewellery designer Nitya Arora, you get recognised by other members of her community. Actually, you get recognised by pretty much everybody in the room or on the street. Enormous, unisex handmade pieces crafted from materials like acrylic, glass, semi-precious stones, copper and brass are equal parts disruptive and ballad of expression promoting inclusive values. This is activism on the body.
“Your jewellery is so camp, girl. We love it!” is constant feedback that Arora says she gets from the queer community. “Drag has always been a pastiche of mainstream contemporary culture. Drag is an expression on acid; it gives you a chance to transform yourself to whoever you want to be, where your emotions mutate into any shape and form. This larger-than-life spirit resonates with my jewellery.”
