Profile
Ankur is a collective-individual artist based in Behror, India. Their practice is nomadic, traversing various concerns and researching alternative modes of economy that involve practices of sharing and care. Their project questions the exploitation of land and people by creating a situation of viewing near mining operations. An earlier series looked closely at the systems of hierarchical and dominating colonial knowledge structures by constructing an alternate space of ambiguity. Ankur has found that engaging with people, stories, and incidents within the community has become critical to their practice which seeks to address the social oppressions stemming from patriarchal structures.
