Outlook Mixtape: The Indian Superman and an Afghan Iron Woman
An ode to unexpected action heroes: the Indian labourer who became Superman, the armour that created an Afghan Iron Woman, and the invincible artist Marina Abramovic.
An ode to unexpected action heroes.
Nasir Shaikh led a motley crew of weavers and labourers to film a spoof remake of Superman and created the most unlikely man of steel to take to the skies, Malegaon ka Superman.
Afghan artist Kubra Khademi was so enraged by the sexual harassment women faced every day, that she fought back - wearing a suit of armour with exaggerated breasts and buttocks and transforming into a sort of Iron Woman. Her protest would bring Kabul鈥檚 busiest street to a standstill.
Marina Abramovic is a powerhouse of performance art, showing almost super human levels of endurance and audaciousness. She may seem invincible 鈥� especially when she takes her concepts to extreme, sometimes life threatening limits.
