Call 2: Working sustainably internationally
Before we look at International 'professional' exchange, we need to first reflect at our passports and the power that we are accidentally born into
I come from India where caste hierarchy & privilege is unescapable. If you are born in a higher caste you are blessed and if you are born in a lower caste you are cursed. Education, Basic human rights, Dignity, Social status, Mobility, everything about you identity arises from here. I am not from the high caste neither i am from the lower caste. I was born with some opportunities on my lap. Same way i see 'passports' as a 'global caste system', I believe that your right to travel cannot be determined by the passport you accidentally get at birth. This would be my starting point with the group. I would like to create a knowledge base where we can examine our privilege and would like to propose alternate perspectives, raptures, utopian/dystopian proposals for a more inclusive world. i would like to create provocative proposals and radical thought experiments concerning passports and power dynamics to shake our pre-existing knowledges and power pockets which we so deeply hold onto.
I would like to publish my research and findings through blogs, video works, interviews, articles, experiments and publish it online and in the post covid world create a lecture-performance from the material generated, which i would like to not perform in theatres but in more alternate spaces, public spaces.
