Arijit Bhattacharyya
My practice spans a heterogeneous landscape, encompassing installation, textile, drawing, painting, film, publication, performance, and cooking. Central to my inquiry is an enduring challenge to anthropocentric paradigms, as I explore an anthropo-decentralized existence that blurs trans-species boundaries. Through speculative futures, my work disrupts entrenched hierarchies and reimagines systems marked by historical and ongoing oppression, proposing symbiotic, resistant alternatives.
I intermittently engage in the deliberate derision of established power dynamics, casting aspersions on and undermining the inviolability of the existing status quo. My practice thrives on collective engagement, cultivating spaces where divergent voices converge for reflection. Through my work, I aim to provoke an expansive reimagining of existence, unearthing nuanced forms of resilience within the interstices of power and coexistence.
