Key Insights & Value

Set in an alternative timeline of India, this exhibit portrays a situation in which xenophobia is treated as a social evil and a critical condition.
The belief in this new India is that contribution and cooperation by all citizens is what leads to the maximum development of the urban atmosphere.
The mandate is to identify xenophobic individuals and help them recover from this primitive human condition but by using despotic methods, portraying the inherent hypocrisy of the unchallenged narrative.
As a by-product of the treatment being prescribed using the Xenoph500 drug, the individuals tend to have a varying body odor, through which the narrative is experienced.
