Vikrant Bhise’s Archival Historicity series offers a vivid visual record of the Dalit Panthers, who fought caste, gender, and labor oppression in 1970s India. Inspired by the Black Panther Party, the group joined a global fight for justice. Bhise’s layered, postcard-sized pieces—combining text, images, and symbols—span a gallery wall, capturing local struggles that fueled broader movements. This marks the series’ debut in a major museum setting.
