Abstract

Just before COVID-19’s first lockdown in India, there were huge protests against a new arbitrary and discriminatory citizenship law. The performance of protest and resistance which has had a long tradition in India was an integral part of these protests. The lockdowns that followed targeted the protesters and the performers. This article deals with these protests and the performers, stressing on the symbiotic relationship between art and politics. It elaborates on the live-ness and immediacy of these performances that cannot have an online or a digital parallel.
