Homage
13.10 minutes, single channel video - 2010]In Homage, Khan focuses on a pile of broken school furniture in a rubble-strewn site on Manora Island. She intervenes by painting the furniture in the sky-blue color of painted gravestones nearby where children, who died from the collapse of a school wall, are buried. She is assisted by local residents, who describe their everyday concerns with resigned pathos. The video grapples with the question of everyday marginalization, displacement, and disenfranchisement as alluded to in these unscripted parallel conversations. Here the process of memorialization is continually punctuated by lived subaltern concerns, suggesting that the transformation of Manora is apprehended only in its immediacy, not in its larger socio-political totality.
