    During the Pandemic presents art works of children from violent homes in Nagaland (India). As a collaborative exhibition with children, guardians, social workers, researchers, and grassroots organisations, this project presents art made by vulnerable children to share their experiences of the pandemic. Curated by anthropologist Dolly Kikon, in partnership with Sisterhood Network and Prodigal’s Home, the project is part of an ongoing campaign to address gender violence in Nagaland.

    Wayfinding: A Photoethnography 2018
    Kikon, D ; Bengt, K (https://www.easaonline.org/conferences/easa2018/events, 2018)
    We focus on what labour migration to the south and to the metropolis entails in relation to care for family members and community in the hills. By doing so we aim to assess the cultural fissures at work in people’s attachment to the places of their journeys. The young indigenous migrants seem to be out on a migration route without fixed destinations, struggling to make out what and where home is. We refer to this as wayfinding: a voyage without a map or beaten paths or pathways to follow and with no clear destination or end station. But rather as a form of movement where the traveller constantly is adjusting the direction, seeking out new places and possibilities as he or she is moving on. And as the young are leaving – no longer interested in cultivating the land – we ask what the future holds for the indigenous communities of Northeast India.
