Malik: Kashmiris have suffered under a violent conflict for the past two decades. For most, war is now a normal part of life in the valley. Destroyed historic architecture, burned wooden bridges, the decline of folk art and language show the abrupt transformation of our cultural identity. Military bunkers, barricades, concertina wire, and watch towers now dominate the Valley’s landscape and has profoundly changed the Kashmiri psyche. In my artwork I try to give a voice and texture to the desolation left behind by the war, which is referred to as “normalcy.”
