Colonisers And Explorers Capture Indian Peasants To Be Used As Slaves In Europe | Bhavya Kumar

Identity, power, and relationship with the other – what would these questions look like, if the variables they concern themselves with took a different route? What would power look like if systemic hierarchies of slave-based agricultural industries matured early? What would assimilation look like if institutionalised discrimination preceded institutionalised violence? What would dissent look like if one never knew what to hope for? It is an attempt to understand, layer, distort and arrive yet again at extremely divergent yet undeniably similar historical experiences of assimilation and segregation, compromise and dissent, compliance and resistance through the manifestation of space, public expression, and language.
