Online Song Performance and Discussion, Leather and Plastic Dafli (Drum), Text
2023
‘Jangayek’ means public or ‘folk’ singer-performer.
jangayek.txt is an attempt to make, sing and perform new songs and texts from oppressed-caste experiences, while re-editing parts of existing Dalit-Bahujan discourse with contemporary doubts.
In this ongoing practice, collaborators intersect their everyday observations with sayings, songs, tunes, texts and theory, as a way for sharing their multi-form anti-caste research.
Current iteration of the project discussed instances of how inter-caste segregation destroys the scope of Knowledge, and how hegemonic-castes dehumanize worker-castes by appropriating their ‘folk’ expressions.
