Currently based at Maastricht Academy of Arts, his artistic wandering is born from the harrowing legacy of the Indian Partition, and navigates the blurred lines between colonial depletion and its aftermath. He acts as both canvas and instrument, invoking resistance and subversion. Such works as the musical reverie “Renegade,” the theatrical battleground “Jewel in the Crown,” and the auditory journey “Fareeda’s Home” dismantle the colonial gaze, forging an identity from trauma. Halar co-founded the Asian Art Workers Collective in Maastricht, where he and his comrades challenge colonial discourse, uniting cross-disciplinary visionaries.
