For JAW 3.0, take a look into Ankur’s installation, embracing the myth and local folklore that challenges the shifting baseline by employing a non - linear and experimental montage to narrate the story.
Through the use of visual and textual poetry on the hill, it conveys a sense of non-human awareness. ambiguously questioning “human subjectivities.”
There are thirty-one hills of the Aravalli range in Rajasthan have been illegally razed to the ground for raw materials to support the state’s construction boom. This destruction has not only disrupted the water flow of old rivers, it has transformed the cultural and ecological fabric of the entire region. Through the onslaught of modernity and industrialisation, environmental degradation repeatedly goes unquestioned and people’s perception of nature and the use of natural resources shift.
