PhotoSouthAsia, a project of the MurthyNAYAK Foundation, is proud to have sponsored the PIX issue entitled, “Personal Paradigms,” 30.Apr.2020.
In the traditional sense, families are permanent or fixed units, and yet, through growing associations, we find that they are also evolving – riddled with secrets, new discoveries and myriad forms of coded expression around kinship. At a time when our affiliations to place, a language, a culture and hence history seem to be fraught with challenges, we may ask how to invent, intersect and construct an alternative self or community?
The issue aims to open out dimensions of our personal / public lives – our selfhood, homes and shifting paradigms – breaking social norms and traditional roles within and outside family. “…[O]ur personal paradigm and place provokes us to reflect in broader terms – on the question of external affiliation and belonging, on tangible links to collective histories and identities, on the evidentiary potential of memory, and on the meaning of self-representation and its intimacies.”
The PIX team for this issue is Rahaab Alana, Managing Editor; Tanvi Mishra and Philippe Calia, Photo Editors; Nandita Jaishankar, Editor; Sukanya Baskar, Design Concept and Cover Design; Anisha Baid, Editorial Assistant and Design Development; and Zainab Mufti, Intern. In addition, there are numerous artists, writers, and interviewees. We hope you will enjoy this issue, and find it enlightening and edifying.
