About
Labour of the Imagined: Far Away from Left, Centre and Right explores creative and physical labour beyond political binaries. Vineetha examines how imagination itself becomes a site of resistance and renewal—work that sustains both artistic practice and collective dreaming.
Recurring motifs include nature, self-portraits, intimate spaces, and the people, animals, and objects inhabiting her world. Her fluid perspective allows engagement with places and inhabitants with remarkable sensitivity.
From Kerala, a state known for political engagement, Vineetha offers something different: art that sits outside established frameworks, inviting quieter contemplation.
