The Archives and Afterlives of Nautch Dancers in India
Purkayastha, Prarthana
Description
Revealing acts of refusal performed by forgotten Indian nautch dancers, Prarthana Purkayastha brings to light rare materials on nautch women, decolonising existing ontologies of dance and performance as disappearance and advocating for the restless remains of nautch in animating urgent debates on race, caste, gender and sexuality today.
