A3 Typographic print (limited run of 20 printed on 200 GSM paper) by Kapil Seshasayee expanding on the artwork for his single "The Gharial" from upcoming LP "Laal"
“The Gharial” is a scathing critique of Bollywood profiteering off of nationalism at a time of great political unrest in India through the release of anachronistic period films. Releasing films which present truncated depictions of triumph in eras such as the Mughal empire serve only to escalate tensions between different factions of an audience divided by issues such as the Citizenship Amendment Act & COVID-19 epidemic in the present day. The song is named for a type of crocodile considered sacred in traditional Hindu mythology - it's no coincidence that recent hit film Tanjhaji featured a cartoonishly "evil" antagonist roasting and eating a crocodile onscreen. Such films seek not to educate or entertain, but to weaponise conflict.
