performance ASHMINA RANJIT text ASHA DANGOL<br />
Influenced by the time she lives in, her works question the being in the passage: about the<br />
female identity raising questions about women’s cultural roles, social gendering, physical<br />
experiences and sexuality.<br />
This work is about her ephemeral that occupies the liminal space that has been experienced<br />
but never talked about or expressed about. Her performance yarns for the manifestation<br />
and reclaiming of the women’s experiences between defined roles, between nostalgias and<br />
aspirations. It gives voices to their political concerns as well as to their most for making political<br />
and their intimate expressions of desire, joy and fulfillment.<br />
