Anushray Singh
\nTime-Based Media Art and Photo Exhibit
\nThird Space: Places, Spaces and Idea of \u2018Home\u2019 is a seminal work building on the MFA Thesis show Ghar Kaha Hai? (Where is Home?) (2020). The exhibit expresses Anushray Singh\u2019s continuous exploration of the concept of \u2018Third Space\u2019 through the perspective of immigration, identity, nostalgia, longing, abandonment, memory, and homeliness.
\nThrough photographs and time-based media, audiences are immersed in the complex and nuanced identity involved in the homemaking of immigration. Singh\u2019s previous research on film, media, and South Asia expands on Oriental, Occident, East, and West and an understanding of the First and Third Worlds. The idea and central thesis are to make \u2018one\u2019 experience the \u2018in-between\u2019 space between East and West, First and Third, Orient and Occident. This is the space of identity\/place\/homemaking, a universal and niche immigration experience.
\nAnushray, as the perspective of this \u2018in-betweenness\u2019 and making \u2018third space\u2019 in authentic experience, juxtaposes, imagines, and brings together India, Canada, South Asia, North America, East and West. As an academic researcher, filmmaker, media artist, writer, and educator, Singh aims to create an inclusive space for the South Asian diaspora. Third Space is explored as a representation of emotionally solid and in-between feelings often felt by South Asian students, workers, and citizens in Canada and the West. The sincere goal is to meaningfully add to the conversation of inclusivity and diversity and acknowledge the assimilation of non-Western identity into the larger cultural canon of contemporary Canadian society. Singh\u2019s role as an artist is to give that perspective to both people of the diaspora and others outside of it. It is to experience a state of \u2018in-betweenness\u2019 that many immigrants carry within, unspoken and unheard.
