At the centre of Vikrant Bhise’s (b.1984; lives and works in Mumbai, India) practice lies the ubiquitous presence of casteism which is entrenched in the social, economic, and political rubric of the nation and its intersectional implications on the movement for land, liberty, and labour. The indefatigable spirit of resistance demonstrated by Dr B.R. Ambedkar, Jyotirao Phule, Savitribai Phule and other anti-caste leaders to uphold the constitutional rights for caste-oppressed communities anchor the core values of Bhise’s works. Through large-scale figurative paintings, Bhise portrays the archival memory of the Ambedkarite movement, personal and intergenerational lived experiences and the daily struggles shaped by caste-based discrimination.
