Abstract
ABSTRACTFollowing the unspeakable event of December 2012, where a young woman lost her life to brutal, sexual violence, there has been an increase in feminist visual art within India. This paper explores a short graphic story by Neelima P. Aryan, a Delhi-based artist from Kerala, South India entitled ‘the prey’. Dark in both form and content, the story narrates one young woman’s attempts at re-ordering a violent world where women are regarded as (sexual) ‘prey’. Replete with dark imagery, this short graphic story portrays India in a challenging light, usurping traditional paradigms of representing India in auspicious visual ways. Subsequently, this paper closes in consideration of the role Indian graphic narratives are playing in storying New India and their place in challenging established modes of visuality.
