Event Description : HEALTH TALK "Toxics Link and Beyond : Environmentalism at the Intersection of Nature and Culture" by Ravi Agarwal
As part of Lila Prism Series.
Toxics Link is a group of people working together for environmental justice and freedom from toxics. They have taken it upon themselves to collect and share information about the sources and dangers of poisons in our environment and bodies, as well as about clean and sustainable alternatives for India and the rest of the world. For the organisation’s Founder, Ravi Agarwal, Environmentalism is at the intersection of nature and culture—and in his searches art converges with science towards creating a unique take on the environment.
Ravi Agarwal is an artist, environmental activist, writer and curator. He is the founder of the Indian environmental NGO Toxics Link which has pioneered work on waste and chemicals, and campaigns on conserving the river and the forest in Delhi. He serves on several high level government policy and standards committees, and writes extensively on sustainability issues in journals and books. He was awarded the UN Special Recognition Award for Chemical Safety (2008) and the Ashoka Fellowship (1997). He has pursued an art practice integrally with his other pursuits. His earlier work, in the documentary oeuvre, encompasses ‘nature’, ‘work,’ ‘labour,’ and the ‘street.’ His current interest span questions around ecology and society, urban space and capital in interrelated ways. He works with photographs, video, and public art. His work has been shown very widely internationally, including at Documenta XI, the Sharjah Biennial (2013), and Indian Highway (2009). He works and lives in New Delhi and is an engineer by training.
