Commissioned by Serendipity Arts Foundation for Serendipity Arts Festival 2024
Chapters Inbetween features a series of six short films on the lives of women workers, traders and entrepreneurs in Goa in a bid to capture what is unsaid in their lives. From straightforward accounts of work, family and survival, the narrative crosses into dreams, fears and longings in a coming together of image, text and silences.
Conceptualised as part of The Labour and Leisure Chronicles.
The Labour and Leisure Chronicles sets out to map the dynamics of chosen public sites in the city of Panjim by introducing performative interactions in response to their characteristics. It places at the forefront the idea of space as a changing phenomenon, defined not only by geographical terrain or architectural detail, but also by the actions it witnesses. In four distinct propositions, The Labour and Leisure Chronicles capture the overlap between functional life and the play of leisure.
