Aarad: Belonging, Rituals & Faith
Aarad (turmeric) is a collection of smaller projects that all reimagine a selection of ritualised Islamic practices, taken from my maternal family, to question how these acts of faith direct and guide an individual (and communal) sense of belonging. The overarching narrative moves away from conversations of why we belong and instead looks towards how we belong. I have referenced various Indo-Islamic practices that mould understandings of; uses of language and conversation, varied locations of faith, communal consumption and the act of ritualised cleansing.
