Léuli Eshrāghi on tagatavāsā – Season 4, Episode 4

Momus: The Podcast

In episode 4, Dr. Léuli Eshrāghi discusses "tagatavāsā," a text centered on Eshrāghi's grandmother's art practice that interweaves Indigenous language with the vernacular of contemporary art. Eshrāghi works across visual arts, curatorial practice, and university research, "intervening in display territories to centre Indigenous kin constellations, sensual and spoken languages, and ceremonial-political practices." In this intimate conversation with Lauren Wetmore, Eshrāghi says, “I wonder how you can bring texts to be haunted by the absence of knowledge, or by the violence of the borders of today.” "tagatavāsā" was published in C Magazine in Winter 2019.
