During
1990, when Jasmine was just 45 days old, she and her family members
along with the people of their village were displaced forcibly from
their land by the government. Since then, they have moved and stayed
in different spaces including rented houses, churches, refugee camps,
welfare centres, and so on, owing to conflicts in the region. In this
talk, Jasmine will demonstrate how she uses drawing as a medium to
narrate and investigate the concepts of barriers, shelters, and home
in a war affected landscape as it becomes an archive of the past
and the present.
