Video Installation+Poetry performance
AN ODE TO NEEL DARPAN
My video installation for the Midnight Tea in Mumbai is inspired by a literary text ‘Neel Darpan’ (1860) written by Dinbandhu Mitra. I will be constructing a narrative of the play ‘Neel Darpan’ in poetry of words performing and examining the period where the indigo farmers died of hunger and unsung and unheard . The video installation builds on my art work from ‘Indigo Narrative’ series 2009-12.”
