Reality Research Center

Helsinki

Annual report for a community centre for performance art and research

I was commissioned to design the annual report / Vuosikertomus for the Reality Research Center, which describes itself as "... a collective of artists engaged in performative adventures. Our shared aspiration is to observe, question, and renew reality by creating performances." The report employs visually rich metaphors, with abstract and fluid layouts that reflect the spirit of TTK's performance initiatives.

Consent of the Governed: Strictures, Constitution & Kink

2022
Delhi / Kassel

Publication design for a series of essay anthologies

Commissioned to design the first two volumes of an ongoing publication series that invites artists, organizers, and kinksters to reflect on positionality, desire, and societal structures. The visual language is shaped by a tension between clarity and resistance — combining expressive typography, layered compositions, and deliberately fragmented structures that mirror the complexity of the subject matter.

Curated & Edited by: Vidisha-Fadescha and Shaunak Mahbubani | Contributors: Tiona Nekkia McClodden, Dhrubo Jyoti, Latoya Aroha Rule, MF Akynos, Jyotsna Siddharth, Khaleb Brooks, and Kinkinella

from Samir Bhowmik's blog post: INFRAGRAPHY Volume 2. is a compilation of critical student artworks and short essays dealing with the materialities of media technologies and their environmental implications. These works and texts are the outcomes from the course ‘Media and the Environment’ in the Fall of 2019 at the Department of Media, Aalto University. The course was a series of scholarly readings about and around the themes of media including media’s relations and impacts on the so-called Anthropocene, thermocultures of media, ecologies of fabrication, media and plastics, Internet of Things, Planned Obsolescence, e-waste, and media’s energetic landscapes. A key approach of the course was also introducing artistic methods and practices that could address emerging media materialities. The final exhibition of the course was a collection of student artworks as a response to the contemporary discourse of political economy of media and related environmental implications.
