Dissenting Views/ Viewing Dissent
This project is inspired by the expression of human agency in times of despair and, at times, annihilation. This project seeks to tell stories of those who occupy little space in the grand narratives of our world, minorities not only in terms of race, gender and religious affiliation, but also bold dissenters who refuse to be victims. This body of work, a series that captures the spirit and act of dissent, in multiple forms and through multiple voices seeks to create diverse portraits of dissent, with attention to the trauma and profound dignity attached to the act of expression of dissent.
Dissenting Views/Viewing Dissent is a project that explores, examines and at times celebrates the human urge to dissent against oppression and question status quo that is often understood as a way of life and something that cannot be opposed.
It’s also a tribute to stalwarts who changed our way of looking at life and understanding of our rights.
