Chalo Dilli is my multi-year-long project documenting the culture of protest and dissent in India, through portraits and interviews of protestors at Jantar Mantar, Delhi’s designated protest site.
Some of these portraits are now part of architect-artist Sofia Karim‘s project Turbinebagh, which invited artists, writers and thinkers from across the globe to design samosa packets expressing resistance against authoritarianism. The project was shortlisted for the Jameel Prize and the samosa packets have been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London and Centro Cultural Palacio de La Moneda in Santiago, Chile. There is an upcoming exhibition at the Franklin Rawson Museum in San Juan-Argentina, and another at Kunsthaus Göttingen, curated by Gerhardt Steidl in partnership with Documenta 15.
