About “Roop Kanwar”

Unable to (Re)member Roop Kanwar

Unable to (Re)member Roop Kanwar examines the realm of middle-class domesticity to look at the practice of Sati. Rather than situating violence against women in so-called traditional culture, it looks at it as a product of modernity. (For a dance performance by Ananya Chatterjea. Video. 16 min. 1997)
