PIX CITIZEN ISSUE

People’s Histories and Image 
a conversation with Tanvi Mishra, Nilargha Chatterjee,
Rohit Saha and Shuchi Kapoor

Moderated by Rahaab Allana

Citizenship as seen through this issue brings certain temporal trajectories into focus:about rights that can be exercised; leftist social movements that have existed and grown; and hierarchies of viewership that have changed. Is the citizen an operative of the state/regime or does he or she have the authority to challenge it? Are there creative strategies, aesthetic productions and collective methods of countering hegemony? With the rise of art and activist initiatives as well as online presences today – the visual field now has a distinct purpose and mandate for readability outside the norm when aesthetics and art become political activities.
