Ever thought of your own archive? All of us create records - our senses and brain are our recorders and we are an archive of them. From these records, we tend to curate a version of ourselves that we share with the world. In carefully rehearsing and repeating this self, how can the rest of us get shared? This project attempts to experiment with archiving and oral history by intersecting them and invites you to do the same. Pause, reflect and hit play. Maybe you’ll be surprised by what you have to say?

Her nails are painted fuchsia pink. The left side mirror is a reflection of the woman showing her in the process of baking as she whisks batter in a bowl. The centre mirror shows her in a graduation cap and gown holding a degree. The right side mirror shows her sitting on a bed with a laptop on her lap. A white dog with black spots sits by her side. Two white labels with purple font are seen against the orange tiled background. One label is on the top of the left side mirror and says ‘Me’. The second label is towards the bottom right of the right side mirror and says ‘Curated Me’. Illustrated by Sneha Dasgupta.media/Promo_Chand_RA - Dharini Chand.jpegplain2022-04-15T20:17:45+00:00
