Udaipur’s eighteenth-century painters, more so than their earlier counterparts, exponentially stretched the affective potential of pictorial moods. They circulated images and ideas about flourishing places beyond and between objects commissioned within courts and bazaars.

This presentation looks at climate justice within India considering caste and the Adivasi identity
