Drifting into Rīga
Landing in yet-another foreign country, on the road for seven years already, this is the short story collection of Dipika Kohli's creative nonfiction pieces gathered in the field, in real life, over six very focused note-taking and observation-making weeks. Choosing the ultimate nomadic lifestyle, not always rosy, but always educational, the author explores out loud with you in this first-person narrative, 'Drifting'.
Dipika Kohli
Dipika Kohli's written and visual work, as well as curations, juxtapose people, place, and found imagery in 'minitheaters'. She engages with media at hand, wherever she is, to build something out of what's available in that moment, with that feeling. A bricolage artist at heart, she thus invites the new to enter any frame: when mixed, there is invitation for those who are participant to connect, reconnect, and revisit their idea of such fixed thinking as 'this is where this is taking us' and 'here is what we know.' Do we know anything, for sure? Ask the quantum physicists. Ask N. Bohr: 'How wonderful that we have met with a paradox; now we have some hope of making progress.'
