SUMMARY:A Language for Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an artist talk by Labani Jangi\, the recipient of t
 he T.M. Krishna-PARI prize that honours individuals who bridge the worlds 
 of art and journalism. Labani is a research scholar and cultural practitio
 ner from Nadia in West Bengal who explores a layered tapestry of inquiry t
 hrough her practice–observing the currents of resistance and identity fo
 rmation beyond protected ignorance as they unfold in the world around her.
  \n\nDrawing from her daily realities as a Muslim woman in India\, Labani
 ’s works are deeply rooted in lived experiences\, reflecting the fractur
 es and solidarities of a world where subaltern voices are systematically i
 nvisibilised or romanticised. Her practice draws inspiration from forms li
 ke the Jari Gaan–a centuries-old song tradition from the Bengal region b
 ased on the legends of Karbala. The thematic concerns of her work strive t
 o fight cultural homogenisation and erase threats to pluralism by focusing
  on sites that expose us to historical and ongoing oppressions in relation
  to each other–acting as a vital bridge that exposes a lineage of surviv
 al and expression for minority communities in the region.\n\nIn this sessi
 on\, the artist will explore three series of works inspired by different s
 ources: a poem by Palestinian poet Tawfiq Ziad\, the poem Chambal Ek Nadi 
 by poet and filmmaker Naresh Saxena\, and the legend of Hijrat. Labani wi
 ll be in conversation with Soumydeep Dasgupta from MAP’s Education team.
 \n\nThis talk will mostly be in Hindi with occasional switches to Bangla w
 hich will be translated by the interlocutor.\n\nThis event is part of VISI
 BLE/INVISIBLE:Representation of Women in Art through the MAP Collection ex
 hibition programming.
