Out of Darkness, Out of India
Television (Full Length) – 2007
Directed by veteran producer Owen Hughes, this piece for arts show Artsville explores the feeling of being caught between cultures. Painter Prakash Patel grew up as an Indian in conservative 1970s Wanganui. As a Kiwi he didn’t feel Indian yet he didn’t belong in Wanganui either - ‘What am I doing here?’ In 2006 he was awarded a Creative New Zealand Residency at the Sanskriti Campus in New Delhi. Out of Darkness, Out of India follows Prakash on his journey from discomfort to discovery.
When they mix with artists from all over the world, straight away they share together. Something happens to the place itself and their ideas and their sharing also get mixed with the soil of this place. Therefore there is a certain kind of smell or some kind of beautiful fragrance. The fragrance of their creativity you can see all around.– OP Jain, founder of the Sanskriti Foundation
