Ruchi Kishore’s : DIRTY CHAI, a hip hop Bollywood musical
Chai is a messy concoction of two very different cultures, two conflicting identities, and two opposing desires, just like the dirty chai she orders each morning- a perfect brew of espresso and chai (tea).
The General having crossed a Torii boundary/Archana Hebbar Colquhoun
The trajectory of my art practice takes on a zigzag path sometimes; and at other times a circuitous one or a U-turn that I didn’t expect to take.
