Archiving a different kind of diaspora: A conversation with Rudy Kanhye

Sohni Chakrabati Rudy Kanhye

Abstrak

In this interview Sohni Chakrabati speaks to BIPOC and disabled artist Rudy Kanhye about his artistic practice as a descendant of the Mauritian Indian indentured labour diaspora. Chakrabati and Kanhye discuss how visiting Mauritius and researching in the archives there, have influenced his work. Kanhye discusses how far his creative work has been inspired by the continued erasure around the Indian indenture system and his desire to promote and share knowledge about the system through art. The two also reflect on the gastropoetics of the Indian indentured labour experience.
