Images of belonging

Abstract

The process of rapid urbanisation in Delhi has resulted in the engulfing of nearby villages into the city's urban ambit. Despite being turned into ‘urban villages’, these formerly more rural spaces still suffer exclusion from urban planning, their state stuck in the process from rural to urban. Khirkee area is one of many such urban villages of Delhi, with national and international migrants. The area is also visibly a masculine space. Women are scarcely seen, except when doing their household chores. By looking at the community art produced by young adults in the area, the article explores how they are manoeuvring this heterogeneous and masculine space to not only challenge gender roles but also formulate their own community. The Khirkee Collective also challenges the masculine gaze through their murals, asserting their idea of womanhood and their relationship with the public space.
