INTRODUCTION<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you ever know who you are, if you feel like you don\u2019t belong? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnseen Realities\u201d is an exhibition that draws our attention to feelings of confusion and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

estrangement ethnic minority groups are often left with, whilst trying to navigate life in a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

predominantly white society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on personal experience, the narrative around the work addresses intimate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

feelings of  \u2018otherness\u2019  faced as an Indian living abroad. The installations invite the viewer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to actively participate and engage with the work and also consider the role of white<\/p>\n\n\n\n

supremacy in creating underlying tensions and discourse between concepts of social and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

personal identity and cultural racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you identify with the narrative or see parts of yourself in the subjects. If we take a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

closer look at the workings of society, is it fair for us to constantly feel this urge to change<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ourselves and to please others to fit in? Why must we have to wear a mask and live a lie?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aparna Ashok commonly known as Chaos, is a Multisensory artist, self-portrait<\/p>\n\n\n\n

photographer and performer who constantly finds herself shuttling between India and the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UK. She is driven by research and curiosity about the complexities of human experience<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before graduating with an MA in Visual Communication from the Royal College of Art,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aparna completed her BA in Visual Arts at Stella Maris College in Chennai, India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aparna\u2019s work centres around social benefit through the creation of scenarios and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

opportunities for interaction. She often finds herself working with themes pertaining to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

identity, death and rituals.  Her practice is rooted in creating curated designed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARTIST STATEMENT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the point in creating work that pleases people? It has no impact, it doesn\u2019t change<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a thing. People are still selfish and apathetic towards each other. As I explore the different<\/p>\n\n\n\n

facets of my practice, I\u2019ve found meaning in creating work that has the power to disturb,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

provoke and disorient, by transforming spaces and altering realties. Times have changed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

significantly and we live in a world that is becoming more and more desensitised towards<\/p>\n\n\n\n

life and the everyday.  I see my work as a rude awakening to people who choose to forget<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and ignore the reality we\u2019re trapped in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My curiosity has led me to follow topics revolving around death and identity and the role<\/p>\n\n\n\n

they play in society. My work is built on questions, in a way it is a reflection of my<\/p>\n\n\n\n

personality. I ask questions to help me better understand myself and the world around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My artistic practice is extremely participatory and relies heavily on audience interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is inspired by the principles behind rituals and ritualistic actions. It\u2019s always fascinated<\/p>\n\n\n\n

me how rituals have the power to transform a person from one state of being into another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I employ this method in my work to better engage my audience to facilitate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
