What is the message of your latest exhibition: Labour of the Unseen? Is it a critique of the marginalisation of labour?
I present this exhibition more like a research residue of the position of labour in our society. What does labour mean? Who becomes a labourer? Are we all not labourers at some point? Then why is there inequality for survival? My work is not loud but wants to spread that Awaaz, that honourable right to be. It features all the experiences I gained in Patna and during my stay in Shiv Nadar University, which is an area surrounded by villages and at the outskirts of the city. I began to understand what outskirts mean. And how labour and living here, differs from the city. I am hoping that this body of work becomes a point for further discussion and dialogue for marginalisation of labour, not a critique.
