Event Description : "Impotent Rage" Recent Works by Akshay Raj Singh Rathore. 

Says Rathore, who did his BFA in Applied Arts from Baroda University before studying Animation Film Design from NID, “I grew up in an atmosphere dominated by upper caste politics and witnessed the deterioration of rural social structure, primarily a result of the failure in implementing land reforms post liberalization. Also, many other influences made me aware of the forces and issues at stake within contemporary societies traversed by complex evolutions.”

One such experience was interacting with the Bundelkhandi domestic help when Rathore shifted to Delhi from Mumbai after working as an animator with Famous Studios. “I could see how these people had been exploited in their villages, uprooted to find work in Delhi where their conditions had deteriorated further,” says Rathore, who has also worked with OSIANS as creative head from 2006 till 2007. However, he considers being part of a Khoj International Artists’ Association workshop in 2009, titled Soil Bite, in Patna that explored the relationship between nature and human beings as the starting point of his art career and the Khoj Negotiating Routes Grant in 2012 to initiate a rural awareness campaign about organic farming in Madhya Pradesh as the turning point.
