About Pleasure Gardens: Blackouts and the Logic of Crisis in Kashmir

Pleasure Gardens is an urgent two-part project that investigates the military occupation, land appropriation, and communication blackouts in Kashmir, a region whose heavily militarized borders have frequently been a site of conflict between India and Pakistan. Taking a 213-day blackout in 2019 as its starting point, the project aims to detail the reasoning behind these blockades, seeking a new register of writing and image that makes visible the conditions of occupation and the protracted violence of the blackout. The book includes photo essays by Ufaq Fatima, Nawal Ali, and Zainab.
