Abstract
In/visible Space is a series of photographic essays documenting the use of dress and self-created queer spaces of six young South Asian Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LBTQ) self-identified women and Transgender, non-binary persons in Britain, and the transformative healing processes it produced, experienced as spatial affect. It explores how South Asian LBTQ persons assert their queer and diasporic identities, either in public or private spaces, using cross-cultural dress markers to subvert normative standards of western dress. The project questions how South Asian LBTQ youth, specifically women and minority genders, construct their identities through dress in their lives at home, and aims to counteract the dominant landscape of whiteness, prevalent in mainstream LGBT and queer culture in the UK. Lipi Begum and Rohit K. Dasgupta met up with the artist Raisa S. Kabir to discuss her practice and motivations for this project. The conversation has been lightly edited for clarity.
