TextPublication details: Thukral and Tagra Archive; 2022Description: 273p; 25x18cmSubject(s): Summary: The advent of globalisation and the subsequent corporate takeover of India's agriculture has vitiated farmers' relationship to the land and the seeds, and to the idea of farming as a sustainable vocation. This research has taken the shape of didactic games that attempt to encourage the participants to learn together of the enormity of the tragedy of farmers' suicide and farming crisis in rural India. T&T's repertoire of games as both a disruptive and playful avant-garde gambit, as well a tool of art pedagogy and social awareness, has helped enlarge the scope of their art practice and deepen its relevance to the contemporary outside the white cube.
