An Indian photographer and documentary filmmaker, Asha Thadani, presents in some of her works her visions of the lives and misery of the Joginis, who live their lives under the influence of the local clergy.
Perhaps I have come a little closer to understanding the anguish and hopelessness to which they are literally condemned.
The Joginis are marginalised women who are victims of ritual sexual slavery, living in many of the poor villages in the southern countryside of Telengana state.
There, they are typically bound tightly to the rules of the local temple from the age of five.
I have transformed some of her works into my own, as my aim was to create a reuse-like piece of art from what is the fruit of years of research and people-reading by the artist.
At the same time, certain stories that leak out of the Joginis’ world, like the fact that none of them know their father, or the fact that every stage and direction of their lives is predetermined, inheriting all the obligatory duties of a Jogini, gave me a vision of a whole life cycle, made up of lifelong torture that the Joginis must face every day.
