Pallavi Paul offers studio visits for students of the Kunsthochschule Kassel.
As part of DokfestForum, artist Pallavi Paul will present her film The Blind Rabbit on Thursday, November 16, 2023 at 6:30 pm., at the Fridericianum.
Provoked by the brutal murder of George Floyd and others, Paul created the film The Blind Rabbit (2021, 43 min.) exploring the history of systemic abuse of power and police violence since the 1970s in her home country, India. Using allegorical means, she interweaves various historical events. The fictional narrative supplements missing historical sources and accounts for the complexity of multiple truths.
Paul’s artistic practice, which includes installation, text, photography, and performance in addition to film, is grounded in her scholarly work. She earned a PhD in film studies from Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi.
