The inaugural episode of the Barakunan Podcast throws the spotlight on artist and writer Savyasachi Anju Prabir’s tender non-fiction piece, My Room as a Cosmopolis - Spacial and Temporal Third Spaces (within the confines of four walls). The piece is also available as audio and PDF chapbooks for you to download.

“The piece is a textual and visual exploration of identity and belonging rooted in India and growing beyond South Asia. The essay attempts to demystify concepts of post-coloniality through a reflexive and autoethnographic lens. The text works as a seamless interwoven body that traverses social and cultural scenarios by situating journal entries, culinary practice, film and arts practice within the academic framework. It begins with the intention of recreating a home lost in time and space, and then advances on questioning the very idea of it.”
