A short graphic novel published with The Sociological Review that translated a chapter of Lakshmi's PhD into a fictionalised account of authoritarian state security and its impact on activism. You can read it here.
A public exhibition for the University of Cambridge on a critical history of anthropological photography which included live infographic illustration, expert panelists, and guided art workshops on the theories of representation.
A fictional podcast that explores how four young academics investigate the crisis in modern higher education in the UK. Using utopian and dystopian fiction as a guide, they explore politics, revolution and social theory on a quest to find out whether a better world might be possible.. or if there really is no such place.
One of Lakshmi's foremost concerns is to bridge knowledge production with the realm of collective political action. In 2017, she co-founded The Politics of Representation, an international collective aimed at questioning how knowledge, power and politics are perpetuated through the institutionalisation of certain forms of visual, scientific, and cultural representation. As part of their work they edited and published an online platform featuring articles from international scholars and activists analysing these issues, organised over 4 academic conferences, and are publishing a special issue on these themes through Identities. You can find out more about their work here.
