Especially thanking my tutors - Tracey Waller & Mireille Fauchon and my peers who helped me shape this project and my practice.

This is an experimental publication called ‘The Times of a Ruptured India’ which explores and exposes the cultural architecture of sexual violence as represented through media narratives. The project reclaims the headlines surrounding a case involving a postgraduate trainee doctor, uncovering how reports often dehumanize women. Through the form of cut-out poetry and gestural mark-making, I reframe those narratives to restore nuance and humanity.

The process involved critical research into the culture of rape in India and annotating articles published by The Times of India reporting on the rape.
