Counter Narratives – an open studio and talk by Sajan Mani

Counter Narratives - an open studio and talk by Sajan Mani as part of our residency programme 16 Breaths Per Minute.

Sajan Mani is an Interdisciplinary artist and curator hailing from a family of rubber tappers in a remote village in the northern part of Keralam, South India.

His work voices the issues of marginalized and oppressed peoples of India, via the “Black Dalit body” of the artist. Mani’s performance practice insists upon embodied presence, confronting pain, shame, fear, and power. His personal tryst with his body as a meeting point of history and present opens onto “body” as socio-political metaphor.
