“Meet Kali’s little sister. See her standing resplendent as rivers of blood and white tears pool around her sensibly shod feet. Admire her battle scars and collection of desi-punk-dyke ephemera. Watch as she adeptly deflects the emotional burden of white feminist guilt. Where did she come from- this bespectacled, tattooed, three-headed monster? Learn her origin story as she comes to life in glorious technicolour.
When she walks, the revolution’s coming…”
– Nazmia, Humaira and Heena, Bollywouldn’t publication
ID: A daytime photo featuring the central dome of Brighton Pavillion, a building in the ornate style of Indian architecture of the 19th century. On it warps a mural of a three-headed furry lilac desi-punk-dyke deity. Their similarly cropped and bespectacled heads look up at two warped blue eyes gushing white tears and red blood against a bright, graphic design based on Pakistani truck featuring birds and landscapes. A necklace of moustached heads swings over their three breasts, their desi-punk-patched black jeans and Doc Martens boots. Six arms hold black yarn, swiss army knife, tarot card, red dustpan, soup ladle, and book. They stand on a chunky title “KALI KA CHOTI BEHEN” within which cross over the rivers of tears and blood.
