Dr.B.R.Ambedkar

. Over the last year or so I have been thinking of a project that I would really love to do! This project is essentially based on the idea of going to various 'sites' of the statue of Dr. B.R.Ambedkar that can be identified in our urban - semi urban environs, and document the social dimension that we can read into as informative by this image being represented. The concept thought out: that images in our social context has a different role/dimension that comes into play. The image functions as a representation towards a mnemonic intervention in the social structure. Dr.B.R.Ambedkar's statues are found in many urban settings as a symbol that asserts a modernist viewing of a community: the new national identity to be recognized within our socio-economic and political system. My intention in this document is to establish a body of material; through photography and interviews of people in the location and social context within which an image such as that of Dr. Ambedkar: to be able to draw on the phenomena of cultural socio - political imageries in the Indian community environment. I would also like to study and have time to research in the field of social change in the parameters of public arena; and also the implication and interventions of imageries in these spaces.
