The Phenomenon of Danger

Vastavikta Bhagat

About this exposition

We at SEA believe that the pandemic has a granularity of meta, non-linear narratives that become useful in making sense of the relational complexities of the pandemic and society. Thus, we set out to collect stories of fears, joys, agilities, fragilities, friendships, networks, collectives, home, work, infrastructures, entrepreneurship, privileges, marginalizations, migrations, desperation, gender, equity, etc. The glossary as a method became useful to reflect on this granularity of experiences and account for slippages during these times. These spatio-temporal stories, when read together or as individual instances produce a new sense of the emergent contemporary. This framework also allows us to speculate on the kind of world we will inhabit once the storm has passed. We draw on multiple readings to bring out the nuances and patterns of social life produced in a pandemic. This we hope would allow us to collectively reflect on the restructured ideas of the self, the collective, society, space, and time. The phenomenon of Danger wears many faces. With each set of different circumstances, it changes its guise and triggers new emotional responses in us. As we continue to live more, our experience of Danger gathers more meaning. ‘Playing with Danger’ is a portrait gallery of sorts, portraits of Danger, each portrait painted in a new light, from a different perspective.
