Formal title:: Yukti V. Agarwal collection
Extent:: 0.25 linear feet
Date range:: 2008, 2019-2020
Abstract:: This collection was created by Yukti V. Agarwal, Brown University and Rhode Island School of Art and Design dual degree student, class of 2024.5, to record the impact of the 2008 Mumbai Attacks on her life. Agarwal was eight years old at the time of the events. Her parents were en route to the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel for a wedding but stopped at a local temple to pray and were late arriving, narrowly missing the attack. At Brown University (in a Literary Arts course with Hiram (Rick) Moody: Graphic Novels and Comic Masterworks), Agarwal created a series of art books to work through the trauma she felt from nearly losing her parents and for her community. The materials include a series of four art books by Agarwal as well as a pink embroidered dupattā that her parents bought as a wedding gift for the bride who was killed in the attacks. Agarwal originally thought to wrap the shawl around the art books as an artistic statement but instead donated the item alongside the books for long term preservation. These items date from 2008, 2019 - 2020.
