A collaborative Art Performances by Anupam Saikia, Pallov Saikia and Anupam Aliass.
It was the final day, 3rd May
2016, of MFA final display of S.N. School, University of Hyderabad. We a group
of students who strongly active and participate in ongoing protest and movement
at University of Hyderabad.
One needs to ask what role of us or
we, the students from the fine arts
department in general has played in relation to the larger politics of the University
of Hyderabad campus this year. Especially, in the recent times when the
university has come in the center of national and international debate, since
the suicide of Dalit research scholar Rohith Vemula.
That day morning , we came to know that VC
appa rao who is the main culprit of this incident and he will come to see our
display which we are not agree to allow our show in front of him. So, Anupama
Alias one of the final year students stated covered his painting as a reaction
or act towards his coming. We decide to sleep in the gallery space where paintings
were displayed for the viewer. I bring a brown tap and started to make a
marking a space inside the painting studio 01 and decides to a casual sleep. I
sleep inside in a casual way and covering my head with pinkies bag to not to
listen, not smell, not to see, not to breathe and finally not to feel his presents. And Anupama covered her ear with her hands
don’t to listen the power structure or not agreed to any kind of intervention
in our display. Pallov remove his sandal and sleep on that to kind of mocking
towards hid presents. Indeed, unknowlgly , unconsciously Chiranjeevi by come
and sleep with us in more casual way to create the satire in the space.
