Abhinand Kishore
Researcher, Engineer & Artist

I draw, write, capture and listen. A researcher and an artist, desiring to collaborate with various ways of knowing/doing, to understand the beings-in-the-world. After completing the Electronics and Communication engineering degree, I worked in an NGO named Anannia initiated by a conglomerate of social activists, social workers and other professionals.

I did an MA in International Relations and Political Science from Central University of Kerala. Currently doing PhD, studying the urbanisation of Kochi, by analysing the specific cases of the right to housing, right to land and right to a liveable place. Rather than the experience of a subject, the research explores the way - how, where, when, and why - different subjects interact, confront, compete, cooperate, struggle, and form relations and networks in their everyday life, amidst the entangled senses, spaces and socials.

The research linking the political economy to socio-ecology, trac(k)ing the enmeshed flow of water, people, capital, money, waste and labour, draws also on other ways of experiencing and knowing through smell, sound, drawings, photographs and movies. I do a personal project called 'On body' incorporating different forms of expressions. I desire to study more of neuroscience and create movies
