This is the Global Media & Communication podcast series. This podcast is a multimodal project powered by the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication (CARGC) at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. At CARGC, we produce and promote critical, interdisciplinary, and multimodal research on global media and communication. We aim to bridge academic scholarship and public life, bringing the best scholarship to bear on enduring global questions and pressing contemporary issues.
In this episode, our host, Kinjal Dave, sits down with filmmaker, artist, and writer Paromita Vohra for a wide-ranging conversation about the artist’s career. As an artist, Vohra has worked across a variety of forms, including film, comics, digital media, installation art and writing to explore themes of feminism, desire, sexuality and popular culture. In this interview, she reflects on the provocations and practices that have shaped her approach as an artist, as well as the pedagogical possibilities that multimodal artworks provide in the classroom.
Over the next forty-five minutes, you will hear about:
- What inspired Paromita Vohra to pick up a camera
- The challenges of building and sustaining a career as an independent filmmaker
- Social, political, and cultural shifts in the India during the 1990s that informed Vohra’s media production
- How digital media technologies and the Internet shaped Vohra’s work
- How Unlimited Girls sought to capture a particular moment within a globalizing feminist discourse,
- How Vohra has rejected certain aesthetic and narrative paradigms to craft her own style and voice as an artist, straddling comedy, irony, and politically incisive commentary
- Vohra’s digital platform Agents of Ishq and the sense of community the project has built
- How to cultivate and encourage complex conversations about gender, sex, desire, and politics in the classroom
- Building intimacy with audiences and being vulnerable to criticism
- Vohra’s upcoming projects
…and more!
