Retellings and Reimaginings: Rejecting Brahminical patriarchy as a thirunambi (திருநம்பி) artist

Nabi Ali is a visual development artist and illustrator based in Los Angeles, California. His personal work often deals with religious themes, particularly centered around figures from Shi'a Islam, Dravidian folk religion, local saints and deities, as well as from anti-caste liberation theology and philosophy. Mikail Khan speaks to Nabi on how he is challenging casteist ideologies within the larger Savarna-infused art world and working alongside/platforming Dalit, Bahujan and caste oppressed Muslim people’s works in the process.
