about

The inaugural audiobook of the Barakunan Podcast throws the spotlight on artist and writer Savyasachi Anju Prabir’s tender non-fiction piece, My Room as a Cosmopolis - Spacial and Temporal Third Spaces (within the confines of four walls). The piece is also available as audio and PDF chapbooks for you to download.

“The piece is a textual and visual exploration of identity and belonging rooted in India and growing beyond South Asia. The essay attempts to demystify concepts of post-coloniality through a reflexive and autoethnographic lens. The text works as a seamless interwoven body that traverses social and cultural scenarios by situating journal entries, culinary practice, film and arts practice within the academic framework. It begins with the intention of recreating a home lost in time and space, and then advances on questioning the very idea of it.”

Savyasachi Anju Prabir holds a Bachelor in Film and Contemporary Arts from the Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Bengaluru and a Master in Visual Anthropology from the University of Muenster, Germany. He is keen on using text, sound and image to create multimodal works and bring a reflexive and collaborative methodology to academic and artistic practice. At present, Savyasachi is interested in raising questions on representation, ethics and aesthetics through a postcolonial approach that challenges anthropocentric positions. In his current projects, he has been experimenting with drawings, found images, objects and sound recordings. Drawing inspiration from the circadian rhythms of his environment, he wishes to arrive at new ways of artistic research and production.
