Still from Sheetla (2025)




In Singh’s experimental documentary, Sheetla, the artist explores the work and life of her granduncle Sheetla Singh, who worked as editor of the Hindi-language newspaper Jan Morcha for decades until his recent death at age 93. His responsibility and dedication to be more than a witness— to actively resist dominant narratives, to create testimony in the face of violence —perhaps provides us with a compass to navigate for the materials on view, and how we might move through the world after.

“ Or maybe we consider who was devoured by these stories.
Or how history can be an amnesic spell or an aphrodisiac.”
