Ishita Chakraborty’s work is rooted in postcolonial discourse and deals with topics such as ecology, migration, and sociocultural inequality. Her artistic practice involves scratched drawings, installations, poetry, and sound. She investigates the strategies of resistance narrated by individuals – often the subalterns – whose contexts are marked by traces of displacement, the trauma of colonialism, and articulation in language, oral history, and identity. An illuminating look at her artistic practice, ‘Whispers of the Unheard’ is Chakraborty’s first monograph. Its restrained typographic design underlines the book’s aesthetic appeal without competing with the artistic works.
