		<description>Nachaniya / Performer‘Nachaniya’ is a slur used in Bihar for oppressed-caste folk-artists of any gender who sing, dance,&#38;nbsp; perform theatre, and
 play music. The term literally translates to ‘dancer’, but is used by people in a derogatory manner to mean “slut performer”. Contrary to popular derogation, the term is often reclaimed by folk artists for whom rhythm, performance, and language are means to self and social expression. ‘Nachaniya / Performer’ is an ongoing research-project, which explores the anti-caste and feminist assertions in folk songs and performances from Bhojpur region of Bihar, through conversations with 10 women folk performers. 
The project culminates in an audio-essay that draws on the recorded research materials to present and discuss:
1. How self and social expression is a taboo in caste-society&#38;nbsp;
2.&#38;nbsp;How songs archive scenes of oppression, but also desire and assertion, from history to present
3. How hegemony steals and appropriates women’s songs by replacing their content with propaganda
4. How folk expression presents intersection of productive labour and life

		<description>Excerpt 1: Phoolwanti and neighbours, sing a song that connects their labour with scenes of their life




rough translation:
bamboo is cut, bamboo is cut,&#38;nbsp;my desireless beloved,&#38;nbsp;bamboo is cut,
 bamboo is torn, bamboo is torn,&#38;nbsp;my desireless beloved,&#38;nbsp;bamboo is torn,
basket is sown, basket is sown, my desireless beloved,&#38;nbsp;basket is sown,
earth is picked, earth is picked, my desireless beloved, earth is picked, 
house is raised,&#38;nbsp;house is raised,&#38;nbsp;my desireless beloved, house is raised, 
window has a view, window has a view, my desireless beloved, window has a view, 
bed is laid, bed is laid, my desireless beloved, bed is laid, 
child is born, child is born, my desireless beloved, child is born, 
child asks for toy, child asks for toy, my desireless beloved, child asks for toy


Excerpt 2: Maanti (Bhikaini) and her team perform a song that recounts how landlords exploited women labourers by denying them their wages, while also practicing untouchability by not providing them drinking water. This historical song documents caste-oppressive practices which were common till 40-45 years ago.&#38;nbsp;


rough translation:in the field, seed by seed, I sowed intently  when I asked for water, I was refused 
at home my children are dying of hunger 
murderer! makes me work whole day 
when I ask for water, he shouts me away [he shouts] “your kids may die, you women may die” 
when I come to his door, he makes me broom the floor 
when I ask for my wage, he refuses 
how will my children live? 
whole day I work, yet in the night, there is no fire in my hearth</description>

		<description>sudra draws god
translation: a-lesser-human draws god
frame, drawing of god by a sudra
2025
In conversation, a person tells me that the gods they worship now are different from what they saw at shrines when they were a child. I ask them to draw what they remember. 
Sudras, the “nothing people” of this part of the world, don’t remember so well.Oppressed caste people, who often themselves practice caste, are called “Sudra”. The term means “knowledge-less menials” and “the nothing people”. From history to present, caste hegemony has been erasing, stealing, and appropriating oppressed caste cultures to mobilize the oppressed as inferior subjects in Hindu-religious totalitarianism.&#38;nbsp;</description>

		<description>When we started this project many people in the village said that “they can't make it”, but Ruby, Radha, Poonam and Rita made it! Ruby wrote 2 new songs based on lives of women we interviewed. We had 3 more traditional songs, which we selected from our ongoing research on anti-caste expression. Ruby, Radha, Poonam, Rita and Saraswati performed these songs infront of a live audience, online and offline. The project was produced by zeropowercut, and shaped through collaborative workshops led by Piyush Kashyap and Raju Ranjan. 
About the 2 new songs produced&#38;nbsp;:
The first song documents how one of the performers we were working with, faces insults
 from her society as well as from her partner, for her choice of becoming a performer. The song argues that art is considered obscene by caste society, only because it has the power to influence reality and make change.&#38;nbsp;Excerpt, Translated:
Stupid uncultured men preach to me
That art is obscene 
What do they know about labour? 
Art makes god, art writes faith 
Art makes what is real!

The second song is about a women’s choice to marry her lover, against the system of arranged marriage within one’s own caste.&#38;nbsp;Excerpt, Translated: 
Before I wake up, 
He begins with housework 
He respects my word&#38;nbsp;
I love him 

I don’t want my caste to arrange my marriage 
I love whom I love</description>
