Last week, we held the first edition of Art & Practice Series. 

We are so grateful to everyone who came out and made the room come alive. Big thanks to the Public Anthropology department at UCL for making this happen! 

This would not have been possible without our panelists and presenters:
Tosin Goke @gokerelli
Affordance Collective, @kwonglon & @lilyflash
Panchsheel Gaikwad @panchsheeel 
Arya Mehta @arya_m.13 
Sara Saini @sarapsaini 
Rida Fathima @ridafathim.a 

And of course, a massive thanks to our wonderful discussant Prof. Konstantinos Kalantzis for providing the thematic bridge for the day. 

Thank you to everyone who participated so generously in the inaugural edition of our early-career focused conference series. 

More to come… 🌱

Our second panel brings together an artist and researcher whose work explores inter-caste marriage, memory and eugenics. 

Artist : Panchsheel Gaikwad 
Panchsheel Gaikwad is a documentary filmmaker and artist working with personal documentary, archival research, and socially engaged moving image. His practice traces the intersections of caste, migration, and intergenerational memory, drawing on family histories and Ambedkarite legacies to explore how the past remains active in the present.

We will be screening his film ‘I Am Mine, and I Am Yours Too’ (2025) as part of the panel. 

Researcher: Arya Mehta (they/ he) 
Arya Mehta is a researcher, writer, and cultural practitioner based in London. They studied at the Sarah Parker Remond Centre, UCL, where their dissertation examined how the convergence between early twentieth-century nationalism, science, and Brahminism laid the foundations for eugenic governance in Indian modernity. Through tracing the intersections between feminist reform movements, criminal law and hereditarian logic, they contend that reproductive justice requires transforming the epistemic conditions that determine who narrates this history. 

This event is free to attend (tickets via link in bio)!
Join us for a day of screenings, discussions, and conversations. 🎉 by @arya_m.13
