पुलिस आई और चली गई by Mohd. Intiyaz
An original painting by Mohd. Intiyaz.
The streets are very small and the people walking on them are excessively arrogant. People come and set up shop in these roads where they do not live, saying the government made these roads for everyone, including those who bring their green, dried leaves to sell. More people not from around here form a line that does not end. They come to shop for this thing they don’t find elsewhere. Those of us trying to go about our daily lives without such a disturbance send a message to the only place we know. There’s no response directed at us, but one day, a man came wearing a cap on his head. He took pieces of colored paper and went.

Mohd. Intiyaz is a visual artist originally from Jharkhand, but migrated to Delhi due to unrest and uncertainty. In Delhi, he attained an MFA in Painting from Jamia Millia Islamia University. In 2018, his art was displayed at the Kochi Muziris Student Biennale, and was chosen as a resident artist for the prestigious Khoj Peers program in 2019. Subsequent years he was a resident artist with Art for Change and 1Shantiroad.
Mohd Intiyaz's works are highly personal and focus on firsthand experiences of migration and marginalization. His core memory of the past and his exposure to everyday occurrences in his neighborhood are central themes of his artwork, rooted in a sometimes uncomfortable reality. Through his work he narrates situations that most of his viewers will not personally encounter - and in doing this, he makes sure that nothing is forgotten.
