In this series, the team has a discussion with Aatika Singh, a PhD candidate in the Department of Art and History at Stanford, explores the intersection of art, politics, and marginalization. Aatika shares how her journey from studying law to engaging with art and activism shaped her understanding of public spaces and the struggles of Dalit students. Her experiences in Kolkata and Delhi revealed the role of placemaking in challenging discrimination and reclaiming accessible spaces for marginalized communities. Through this conversation, we examine how Dalit artisans navigate their identities and histories through artistic expression, using their craft as a means of storytelling and resistance.
