Choices?
How do we conceptualize the juxtaposition of the glorified “It Girl” from Bollywood cinema versus the stigmatized sex worker in India?

Where do we draw the line of stigmatization around our understanding of bodies, commodified for enjoyment?
This collage was created for EP. 2 of The Katra Box Podcast Unapologetically Us. In this episode, titled Choices?, we engage in conversation around my film Legacies of Violence | Narratives of Movement.
The film displays the juxtaposition of the glorified “It Girl” from Bollywood cinema versus the stigmatized sex worker in India. This week we discuss contradictions of “choices”, and the commodification and policing of women’s bodies in South Asian cultures.
Through this series, you’ll get a chance to hear from us like never before. Hear our team chat about all the different kinds of things that affect the brown girl’s experience. To hear this episode and others, follow @thekatrabox on Instagram.
