Overview

What makes the inmate-citizen different from the free-citizen?

Is the crime factor inscribed on the former justified?

Aren’t many living in free-society actually in self-inscribed prison?

Prisons are mostly located in the suburbs of a city, and at times, as cities grow, they geographically co-exist within the city. A “wall” divides the same space into two worlds: public yet private and private yet public. Lives across the walls are completely opposite. An eight-foot-wide-wall, creates a psychological divide of miles.
There are limited possibilities of access to prison, barring a few NGOs working for the rights and welfare of the inmates. Usually, society ostracizes and very conveniently chooses to ignore this republic. This project is aimed at bringing the artists in India together to understand prison as a State apparatus and answer some of the above mentioned
questions that arise.
