Like bird call signals that cannot be defined entirely, words are often rigidly used to embody a singularity. But a question that often helps expand our understanding is, ‘What informs our perspective?’ Wouldn’t multiple lenses aided by the evolution of language be a more accurate reflection of any reality? Allowing viewers to open up words to explore their meanings, sounds, and articulation is the virtual iteration of Disabled Dictionary: South Asia Edition ‘’ by Resting Museum — a crip and neurodivergent artist duo of Priyanka D’Souza and Shreyasi Pathak. Previously a part of a physical exhibition in Delhi, the project’s WhatsApp edition was facilitated by a collaboration with Out Of Line (OOL), a Delhi-based collaborative practice.
