माँसMAAS

Never before have we been so acutely aware of ourselves – looking, critiquing, capturing, tweaking, filtering the self and offering versions of ourselves for public consumption as we find ourselves at the deep end of the shallow business of beauty.
This violence is subtle, layered and surprisingly funny!
Funny because we recognise it spot on!
Funny because it is ours collectively, even when it is intensely private.
Funny because we don’t talk about it and yet…
It’s funny, until it’s not.

Maas is a wry take on the natural phenomenon of aging, and weight gain which in today’s world of ultra fitness, gyms, diets, health gurus, surgical procedures and influencers is frowned upon and looked at as anything but natural. By examining her own body, which is female, fat and fifty, Dogra explores Instagram culture, internalised patriarchy and the control wielded by beauty and fitness industries through the lens of humour and critique.
