Hybrid Being 14. Kalahantarita and The Sarus Crane, 2024

The series Hybrid Beings aims to decolonize women’s bodies and the sovereignty of nature. To envision new ontological entanglements it intersects boundaries of speculative fiction, archetypal allegories, and precarious ecologies. The paintings of Manjot propose a number of situations and stories to imagine forms of relationality and mutuality between bird species (both endangered and extinct) and selected heroines who belong to the Ashta-Nayika: a collective term for eight heroines, each of whom represents different states in relationship to her hero resulting in hybrid beings(they/them).
