The Book of Possible Futures
Pages of a hypothetical Book of Possible Futures, with a series of watercolor drawings named “Temporal Maps”, and short texts in English and Marathi, inspired by discussions with Indian women on their hopes for the future. The work in this room is also based on research and documents from the Sparrow Archive – Sound and Picture Archives for Research on Women – based in Mumbai.
