WP:COPYARTICLE, old revision of Chitra Ganesh which this user had just edited but was reverted

[Ganesh’s work is known to employ “strategies that either directly or indirectly question the validity of existent norms and myth of culture.”^[1]]

[Within her comic series, Ganesh offers direct comparisons to works published by Amar Chitra Katha, such as Shiva Parvati: A Story of Divine Love and references other popular culture phenomena such as Godzilla.^[2]]

Following the September 11 attacks, Ganesh, in collaboration with visual artist and activist Mariam Ghani, created their long term project Index of the Disappeared (2004-). As part of this work, they began a “multipart investigation into the post-9/11 security state’s racialization of disappearance and its documentation.”^[3] ]

[Within this project, artifacts from “ethnographic collections of the past” alongside “objects classified as contemporary art” was a decision considered to be “uncommon and provocative.”^[4]]

[This work features a range of individuals who lost their lives in 2020, including trans and gender-nonconforming folk who were killed and those who passed during the Covid-19 pandemic.^[5]]

[In 2018, Ganesh participated in “New York Silver, Then and Now” which was featured at the Museum of the City of New York. The exhibition featured local artists, who learned about the history of silver in New York and then engaged in conversation both inspired by the history and connected to their artistic practice. Ganesh chose an early 18th century beaker with etchings of “hell and its hateful language,” reminding her those forgotten in the Hart Island cemetery by the state of New York.^[6]]
