Summary: We in a One Room Kitchen (W1RK) is a collaborative film project that hosts, produces, co-produces and relays conversations. Developed throughout the nine month Sarai Reader ‘09 exhibition, the project has emerged from the initiators’ engagement with the city through perspectives of history, development, trash, politics and mythology. The resulting version of the film involved shooting/conversing on a river bed of trash in Mankhurd, Mahim Fort, a rooftop of a 28 storey Andheri apartment block, the launch of the Aam Aadmi Party in New Delhi, and the site of Delhi’s announcement as capital on its 101st anniversary.
The project both precedes and draws from the seed of WALA's series of Echo Gatherings which took place throughout 2013, most specifically this
one.
