This project attempts to explore the intricacies of Dalit oppression through the visual medium. The work intends to bring attention to the mechanisms of caste oppression by reminding the viewer of its history and its relevance in the lived experience of Dalit Humans. With this work, the project surveys the things the student considered everyday, ordinary, and “cultural” in a distinctly historical context.
