UnSuitable Girls (2006)
A participatory project by Swati Khurana & Anjali Bhargava
UnSuitable Girls have made choices to step outside of socially accepted norms. We
have been girls who seek love, desire and adventure from often other unsuitable
girls and boys. We take risks, we never play dumb, we have strong opinions, we use
fighting words, we stay up late, we love our families while challenging them to
accept us and the communities and families we create. Some of us even have the audacity
to believe we can change the world.
To commemorate this UnSuitability, Swati Khurana has created a series of trophies
with engraved text that celebrate our reluctant, disheveled, unproper selves. Anjali
Bhargava has photographed South Asian Women women posing with these trophies.
