Life is not about chromosomes or categories. In this era of gender-fluidity, it’s remarkable to know that some decades back, the revolution had already started in the arts scene in this part of the world. Conceptualized by arts personality Sujoy Prasad Chatterjee and presented by Future Media School, FUTURE FOOTPRINTS OBHIJATRA reflects the journey of a generation of artists who challenged their gender and converted it into a performance to give it a broader spectrum of art.
