Navjot’s projects stretch across several epistemological alternatives: anthropology, aesthetics, ethics, politics. She reckons with the problematic antecedents of ethnographic enquiry; she recognizes the difficulty of a dialogue across economies and cultures. She therefore speaks less the language of ethics and more of practice, where formal solutions and semiotic notation qualify moral certitude.

-          From the Foreword by Geeta Kapur, Navjot at Work

Photography, painting, sculpture, video, installation, public art. One of India’s major contemporary artists, Navjot Altaf’s works have been wide and varied, renegotiating the boundary between categories and resisting the definitions of art, artist, and viewer. Navjot at Work explores Navjot’s artistic preoccupations and interrogates her articulation of her engagement with various concerns that have fuelled and inspired her work. With a foreword by Geeta Kapur and essays by Elena Bernardini, Grant Kester and Leon Tan, this volume negotiates a balance of understanding of Navjot’s art, Navjot’s activism, and where they overlap.

Published by The Guild, this edition features over 250 colourplates of Navjot’s works, including video stills, installation shots and public art projects. A second volume titled Artist’s Notes includes Navjot’s own notes and insights into her artworks and projects.
