EPISODES
Episode 3 | 11-20 October 2020
“Home & Belongings” - Curatorial Note
For a long time, we have been wanting to inquire and explore the idea of where our source is. As to where the creative impulse comes from. From a very individualistic journey, we have been shaping and remodeling the idea of what bodies are, what minds are, and where do we actually belong, especially in socio-political contexts of womynhood too, of inhabiting
the spaces known as South Asia......- Mitali Nath

Episode 2 | 11-20 September 2020
“Displaced Attire Misplaced Desire”
- Curatorial Note
More than being the curator in this episode, I would like to think of myself as a 'medium' where the different sorts of an interpersonal riddle can overlap with each other in a fluid manner. My initial interest at this beginning phase is to nurture the cross-dialogue interactions around the understanding of “Desire” and the “misplacement” of that...- Sadya Mizan

“Mutual Space Around Mutant Kitchen ”
- Curatorial Note
''.....entering from the turmoil of 'signified' to a newborn space for collective resilience for exploring co-operative expectation '' Tracing A City continuously wishes to explore the micro-narrative from non-conceptional scope to ultra-perceptional concern, but at the same time, it would be nice to experience and the plurality in the multilingual curatorial viewing process- especially to make the sphere more democratic. - In womyn at work, - kaur chimuk
