My Studio Practice of 4th Year began with Making Poems through Omitting Pages from V.D Savarkar’s Essentials of Hindutva in an attempt to discern personal truth amidst Radical Political Ideology and Poetics through Artistic Interventions. I am excited by the aspect of Artistic Exploration through poetics becoming a socio-cultural research through expression. Through poetic conceptions I attempt to form ‘Allegories’; acts of futility through poetics of meaninglessness, acts of doing and undoing, for what I had found and felt by omitting Savarkar’s texts, attempting to investigate traces of rooted cultural fundamentalism. These allegories resulted in a 50 Page Book of Poems, Multiple Installations, Performative Acts and 2 performances.
