'Composition on water' - Anamika Haksar 

'Composition on water' is based on Dalit activist Namdeo Dhasal’s poem Water, where he writes about caste hegemony and the denial of water to people from the lower caste. The one side is the water is clean and the one side water is dirty “Upstream, the water is all for you to take, downstream, the water is for us to get.” The artist tried to show the disparity in access to clean drinking water based on caste, politics etc.  (Performance at Kochi-Muziris Biennale, 2016)
