Resonant Bodies

Resonant Bodies is an immersive sonic experience exploring sexual repression, cultural expression, and reclamation. Two centuries of British colonial rule in India have reshaped South Asian women’s relationships with their bodies. Victorian ideals around modesty and sexuality contributed to cycles of sexual repression, shame, and silence that persist today. Through live vocal performance, immersive sound, vibration, and brass vessels, the project explores the relationship between emotional states and physical tension, focusing on the pelvic floor - a group of muscles responsive to emotional experience, and central to sexual function and sensation. Reimagining familiar domestic objects as instruments of resonance and self-care, Resonant Bodies creates an immersive space for women to reconnect with their bodies, explore embodied expression, and reclaim what it means to be unapologetically Desi.
