Permi Jhooti

Statement

Throughout my sporting life, all people asked – What’s it like to be a woman, what’s it like to be Indian? Meaningless questions when all I cared for was what it felt to play football. In this exhibition, I strip gender, age, race from my subjects. I capture what remains when one dances, plays, moves, just is. And from this I create my art. And no-one ever asks if the dancer, the fighter, whomever in my print, was a woman, or Indian, or anything really.

Because that was never the point.
