This episode with Ita Mehrotra — visual artist, researcher, and educator — explores how illustration functions as advocacy, archive, and act of witness. The episode traces her practice from Shaheen Bagh: A Graphic Recollection (2021), which documents the 101-day anti-CAA sit-in led by Muslim women in Delhi, to Uprooted (2025), a slower, monochrome account of the Van Gujjar and Taungya communities' generational struggle for forest rights in Uttarakhand. Across both works, Mehrotra positions drawing as a form of ”visual testimony” — a way to archive erasure, dissent, and memory that official records and data-driven policy reports routinely miss.
