SUMMARY:Osheen Siva in conversation with Jelena Sofronijevic and Nicole Thiara
DESCRIPTION:Alongside our current exhibition\, Karuppu\, join us for a free online in-conversation event between our exhibiting artist Osheen Siva with Jelena Sofronijevic\, producer of EMPIRE LINES podcast and Nicole Thiara\, researcher of Dalit and Adivasi literature.  \n\n\n\nTogether\, they will explore topics related to Osheen’s practice; their inspiration from cultural aesthetics that explore speculative futures and racial identity\, including Afrofuturism. Osheen’s work uses science fiction\, mythology\, and religious heritage amidst their love of comic books and the vibrant soul of South India. Their artworks imagine fantastical dreamscapes\, whilst reclaiming and reinventing Indian folktales and myths to imagine a decolonised future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will be live streamed on YouTube\, with auto generated closed captions. During the live event there will be the opportunity to ask questions. \n\n\n\n				\n					\n					\n					Osheen Siva\n					\n						Osheen Siva is a multidisciplinary artist from Thiruvannamalai\, currently based in Goa.
