A memorial for the Indian women who lost their lives through male violence during the partion of India.

August 15th, 2017 celebrated India’s independence from British colonial rule for seventy years. The dicotomy of independence and India’s partition for many Indians was not a celebration but a moment for reflection of a country becoming autonomous at the price of division.

This work in progress is an investigation of hereditary racial memory, through the artworks I try to discover what genetic memory means to me as an Indian woman.
