Rethinking the Nation State, Reactivating Art—5 Objects with artist Alana Hunt

 a podcast with The Polis Project, 2019

Listen: Audio for Book Launch with 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art

Artist and writer Alana Hunt and filmmaker and founder of Yaarbal Books, Sanjay Kak, in conversation with curator Jasmin Stephens.

Podcast: Collective Narration & the Narratives of Control

In this episode, Tanvi Mishra and Sanjay Kak discuss Kak’s process behind the making of two of his books – one as an editor ‘Witness: Kashmir 1986-2016 : Nine Photographers’, and the other as a publisher ‘Cups of Nun Chai’ by Alana Hunt – both distinct in their approach, yet dealing with the same conflicted landscape of Kashmir. They discuss the role of a storyteller in context of their positioning as an outsider against an insider and the persistent question of authorship.
