In the Kolar Gold Fields settlements for ‘windows of precedent’ are framed to address three issues of inhabitation on the hidden, scarred porous and deep landscape running for kilometers under the ground unbeknownst to visitors. Three strategies and three artistic curations, namely DIGNITY to restore agency to the people, INTERCONNECTEDNESS to restore communities to ecology (the cyanide tail dumpings post the retrieval of gold created vast flatted ‘’hills’’ of non-life degradation) and RESILIENCE to re-water the land with a water strategy (the vast underground network of deep tunnels and burrows are now filled with water, contaminating ground water with metallic residues); to RE-STORE, to RE-CONSTRUCT and to RE-WATER.

Equitability means having a voice to say yes to fish and no to soda or yes to soda and no to fish. The project documents the voices of the women who are a part of this program. This project uses a traditional craft of Bengal to build a CIRCULAR textile alternative art using waste virgin textile scraps.
