A collaborative project with Deshna Mehta
Curated by Gail Mcleod, Akhila Krishnan and Rachael Perrin
We've had the opportunity to speak with four Indian women as they go about performing several quintessential roles of a daughter, a wife, a mother and many such smaller roles involved within each of these. From primarily inculcating moral and cultural values to being dismissed without thought for lack of knowledge, the Indian woman is a tale in herself.
As observers, onlookers, interviewers and interpreters, we'd like to explore the substructures of 'dependency - judgement - freedom' that form the sub-conscious undercurrents of the lives of women in India. We hope to trigger conscious thoughts to acknowledge these understated yet omnipresent dependencies which facilitate or hinder the freedom in our existence.
We believe that the awareness and acceptance of these dependencies (which very often pass away in ones lifetime without conscious discernment) is an essential step in carving ones way to freedom. This is just a start and we hope to speak to many more to allow this consciousness to surface.
Yours Sincerely,
Deshna Mehta & Pavithra Dikshit
