About the Collaboration
Artwork Somnium Genero series [2021]
This exercise is a humble approach to illustrate the biodiversity of Araku, Andhra Pradesh (India). The composition enables one to think about the diverse terroir co-existing with the self-sustaining matter around. The harmonious eco-system makes us interrogate its origins, its past, while it posits visions of a more equitable, greener future. It's rooted in Araku, where the tribal communities have worked in tandem with the Naandi Foundation over several years to restore its equilibrium.The intention is to narrate a shared dream. Foundation Thukral and Tagra has in the past used a multi/interdisciplinary approach to carry out interventions at ground zero that help spread awareness and bring alive the issues faced by farmers in India. In partnering with ARAKU, we are glad to work in a direction which amplifies the efforts of the Naandi Foundation.
