Revue
‘Invisible Constellation’, by Indian artist collective Revue (Sreejata Roy and Mrityunjay Chatterjee), is an artwork that extends the dialogue around the impact of urban transformation on communities to a global audience. The artists open the conversation with their personal story of Khirki Village, Delhi, a place that has seen radical urban change in last few years since the city hosted the Commonwealth Games in 2010. The work highlights issues that come with the expansion and development of urban spaces including displacements and gentrifications, where new waves of people move into regenerated areas, dynamically changing the demography and social and cultural make up of communities.
Invisible Constellations recognises that this is not a new or isolated event, and this phenomenon is happening globally. The work invites others to contribute their stories or information on similar experiences and add to the constellation of urban narratives, which together, make up a repository that can surprise us through its linkages from one part of the world to another.
