Ocha - a powerful artwork by Mr. V. V. Vinu: Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2019

Artist Vinu V. V, in this amazing artwork named ‘Ocha’, depicted the marginalized sections in the society in the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. Casteism, migrant laborers, the oppressed and the suppressed in the society, and all the people who have lost their voices to claim their rights are being represented by the different wooden sculptures exhibited here. Ocha in the Malayalam language means voice, and without a doubt, those who visit this installation will understand the message this awesome artwork is trying to convey.

Oppression and suppression still exist in the modern society in one form or the other. Modern-day slavery, casteism based practices, the creation of marginalized sections, and exploitation of poverty are some of the menaces we all are aware of. Voicing the concerns, fighting for the rights, right to being considered as a human being on par with others in the community are still not so easy in the modern world despite the scientific progress, technological advances, and democratic practices.


This art by Mr. Vinu V. V conveys a strong message which should be considered as an eye-opener of some of the serious issues the society faces about which everyone should devote some time to think of.


Hats off to this wonderful creation by this very talented artist. All the very best!
