In October 2013 I was walking down Esplanade in Kolkata. At around 5 pm I came across Sitakshi. Wearing a short bright pink skirt and armed with a placard, Sitakshi had spent the day engaged in a solo protest against gender violence. This piece explores Sitakshi's experience and story using paintings from Australind scroll II, Australindopak Archive" and footage I took of Sitakshi protesting.
