Of her performance for KB17, Emaan Raja writes: “The work talks about the importance of body as self and its relationships in our region. Not just the male or female body but a general presence of one’s body, separating it from the conscious and the subconscious mind and looking at it only as a presence. We relate to people through the conversations they make; we value verbal communication as the basis of every interaction and at times disregard the bodily presence. The work explores that bodily presence and the urge to connect to it even without a verbal link.”
