I am an Indian born – British photographer. In 2009 I completed masters in International Relations from King’s College London. I have a background in journalism that informs my research based socially engaged practice. I combine traditional artistic interventions and photography to call attention to the boundary of cultural imperialism, a boundary marked not by the social exile of the “other,” but by the ordinary, the ever-present yet trivialised exile formed by prejudices, procedures and activities so fundamental as to not even be noticed.
