Am currently working on a long term artistic research project, titled 'the revolution is everyday'. This is the trailer of a film being worked on, in that project. The project also has its own website at:

therevolutioniseveryday.in

Gouri Lankesh, a senior journalist based in Karnataka, was killed which caused a wave of protests around the state and in the India. These images are from a protest in Bangalore. The Indian state has been cracking it's whips down on activists and journalists and on people who have anything to say against the state. These images are from a protest in Bangalore.

I have had to migrate my website from weebly, and I found it easier to link up a new domain name and hence you are here. I continue to have kanishka.co.in, and this is just easier for redirecting the website. This website is still under construction and there might be some pages with missing links and so on. Please eXcuse this transition period.
