Description

Caste doesn’t just decide where you live or who you marry. It decides what you eat and who you eat with. In 'Come Eat With Me', Indian artist Sri Vamsi Matta turns a communal meal into an act of resistance. Through shared eating, he challenges centuries-old ideas of purity and pollution and rehumanises the Dalit experience beyond pity or pain. Can a meal break caste? Vamsi sits down with Dilpreet Kaur Taggar in our Sydney studios to unpack. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube.
