In our conversation with her, she talks of her continuing project Katha Yatra which resulted in her performance piece 'Majuli'. She explains that the piece is a physical representation of her feelings of Majuli, the largest river island in the world situated in the Brahmaputra. The conversation is interspersed with her log book excerpts from her visit to the place for the first time as a movement artist. Ranging from indigenous preservation practices to hazards of over-development the conversation though situated in a place ties in different timelines of her life with the river.
