INTERVIEW | Arani Halder

With a belief that there lie important and revolutionary stories from those that go unheard, Arani Halder uses her work to open windows into the lives of different people and the broader socio-political movements that help shape them. Her work explores the connections between language, culture, pluralism, autonomy, and the power of knowing one’s roots, through media such as bookmaking, bookbinding, printmaking, painting, sculpture, and even cooking.
