Restor(y)ing Cultural Memory
Restor(y)ing Cultural Memory seeks to examine the role of participatory re-storytelling through design as a catalyst for cultural restoration and empowerment among the marginalised truck artists operating in Delhi, India.
Integrating ethnographic fieldwork and on-site dialogues with truck artists, the study aims to magnify their lived experiences, unpacking the intersections of systemic exploitation, diluted self-perception and a colonial construction of knowledge.
On this basis, this research repositions truck artists as active agents restoring a culture rather than passive subjects of external representation.
