A large charcoal drawing in the gallery comes to life through a projection of a short film that combines drawn animations with footage shot in India – a context in which violence against women has been both widespread and a rallying cause for feminist advocacy. The film is told from the embodied perspective of a young woman who encounters sexual harassment in public and imagines flipping the script, thus reversing the gendered power asymmetries that continue to pervade domestic, public and as well as digital spheres.
The installation includes drawings by the artist that served as a basis for the film’s animations.

About the artist
Tuda Muda / Samrridhi Kukreja (b. 1991, Delhi, India) lives and works in Trondheim, Norway.

BLINK er kuratert av Sarah Lookofsky og støttet av Kulturrådet og Norske Billedkunstnere.
Utstillingen er del av serien Underskogen, som har fokus på unge kunstnerskap. Underskogen refererer både til alderen på kunstnerne, til den kunstnerdrevne scenen som initiativet vil knytte seg til - og til de grunnleggende prinsipper for bærekraft under prosjektet. Utstillingsserien er støttet av Bergesenstiftelsen og Talent Norge.
