The Scrawny Beauties of Ethni City (2023) exhibition reel

A main component of solo exhibition, The Scrawny Beauties of Ethni City (2023) at QUAD (Derby, UK), included a large-scale installation mimicking a real-life carousel. Here, sits a song and dance about song and dance (2023), which introduces the origins of engodamy - an unfolding narrative inside SEEMAWORLD’s planet Youterus. 

Themes of caste, queer sorcery and gender are unearthed within layers of fantastical storytelling, and use of archival footage, MAHARANEE OF BARODA (1930), explains the relationship between Youterus and Earth - as well as the Youteran understanding of earth’s Devadasi’s. In this exhibition, 3D environments and characters, CGI, moving image, sound design, personal / archival footage launch up to 20 new characters, which texture the aesthetic and element of fantasy in this ongoing narrative.
