JUST 7 DAYS TO GO UNTIL PHOTO|FROME OPENS!
A selection of Sujata Setia’s powerful work “A Thousand Cuts’ will be showing at The Whittox Gallery.
Sujata is an Indian born – British photographer. In 2009, she completed a masters in International Relations from King’s College London. Sujata has a background in journalism that informs her research based socially engaged practice. She combines traditional artistic interventions and photography to call attention to the boundary of cultural imperialism, a boundary marked not by the social exile of the ‘other’, but by the ordinary, the ever-present yet trivialised exile formed by prejudices, procedures and activities so fundamental as to not even be noticed.
Sujata’s series ‘A Thousand Cuts’ studies the patterns of domestic abuse through personal narratives of survivors, who receive the dignity of taking centre stage in this project. This interdisciplinary project, born out of close collaboration with survivors, employs qualitative research methods and a trauma-informed approach, allowing for an ethical, survivor-centric narrative.
