Antakshari

2021

I used a familiar word-and-song game to bring different languages together.

Antakshari is inspired by a popular game in India and neighbouring countries. I invited participants of different nationalities and cultures to create a chain of words and songs.

Through the work I think about multicultural citizenship and the exchange of living cultures. Translation does not remove difference here; it becomes a playful social space where relationships can change.
