ANKITA SHARMA
APRIL 1 - 12

" I’m currently working on a new evening-length work, dhoka/Betrayal/, which entangles Hindu goddess Kali’s ultimate power with present-day ethnonationalism and religious violence. Focusing on how Hinduism has been colonized into propaganda for violence against dark-skinned bodies and Muslims, I trace Kali's forced transformation into a fetishized, destructive image that upholds this violence with her bloodied tongue. With the Moving Artist Residency, I’ll be puzzling through the last piece of the narrative, where Kali and her disciple let punishment and forgiveness become the other. "
