PRIYANKA DASGUPTA AND CHAD MARSHALL
The collaborative practice of Priyanka Dasgupta and Chad Marshall redefines the visual experience as a physical, experiential one, through the medium of immersive, interactive installation. It is an inter-discursive endeavour located in the gaps between history and storytelling, and draws from archival texts, sociological conventions, oral histories, postmodern theory and postcolonial studies.
