Brief on the installation
This work is about the spaces that carry the memories of the industrial practices that no more exist. City reconfigures itself with or without those architectural structures which at some point of time housed these industries. These structures carry the memory of those people who worked and lived here. Presently these people have almost become invisible and they have gone into the margins of the public knowledge.
Brief on the artist
An artist with a particular interest in community-related projects, Sreejata has been deeply interested in exploring the new labour practices that have developed in the neo-liberal political/economic environment, as an articulation and consequence of globalisation. She has been using mixed and digital media, informed by a theoretical framework, to produce narratives.
