“"We Want to Remember" is a collection of digital artworks critiquing lived spaces, identity, and art under the Global Caste System. The artworks imagine a way to break away from these hierarchies focused on economics and land over social progression by seeking a diverse collective empowerment. The Thesis is built upon research, concepts and themes primarily found in Isabel Wilkerson’s novel Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent (2020). This is where the Global Caste System lends its concept and necessity from. Wilkerson argues that caste working as terminology of infrastructure, division, and ranks better describes inequality, injustice, or despair rather than just racial division. In my essay, The Loss of Collective Empowerment (2024), I argue caste is a globalized system that has expanded with broken social and economic systems. Caste’s origins began with colonialism with its inherent false nature to create superiors and inferiors as a justification to conquer without empathy. The manufactured hierarchy was maintained long after the colonial empires of the 18th century and morphed under the guise of neoliberal capitalism. An individualistic social system that has been unchallenged as an economic system since the 1990s. However, the key to breaking caste throughout history has repeatedly been the collective diverse empowerment of groups such as the American Civil Rights movement, the Dalit movement, and more recently the Bangladesh July Revolution. In each of these movements, art was essential in breaking caste for art was liberated from a hierarchical economic means to express freely. The arts allow liberation from caste by creating spaces to reengage identity outside of caste. The core of colonialism, capitalism, and caste ultimately narrow down to an issue of identity that is prescribed on domination, superiority, and violence. Art has served as a space for pause, healing, and relief from financial consumption identity in the present world. This project carries forward that extension of art to propose a future outside of caste.”
