She has a deep connection to storytelling and mysticism, which we explore in our chat. Living in Melbourne currently, maintaining that connection is something Manisha finds extremely important to do.Talking about art and food, she says "...they make life worth living. Food is a physical necessity and art is the soul's necessity, so you're feeing your soul with art and you're feeding your body with food and you just need both to enjoy this time on earth." Manisha shares her Dhal recipe with us and explains that growing up she'd have it almost every day. It was the foundation for everything else she ate. She associates it with a comfortable and homely feeling.You can find Manisha Anjali's Dhal recipe on our website!Find us @whatartistseat on Instagram and our website www.whatartistseat.com.auSupport What Artists Eat on Patreon!

This book is a journey across oceans, from the Asian subcontinent to the South Seas, a journey about human trafficking on sugar plantations in Fiji and Australia. Anjali brings to life the histories and events, the stories and myths of a displaced and exploited people, that have been lost in time or forgotten or hidden from view. Anjali was joined in conversation by Izzy Roberts-Orr, a poet, playwright, broadcaster, arts worker, and a Creative Producer with Red Room Poetry.

Welcome to the future. This year, the Emerging Writers’ Festival invites you to speculate with us - to consider the possibilities of the future and the consequences of today. We spoke to one of our favourite future visionaries Timmah Ball about the future of our cities and environments, and the place storytelling plays in the construction and actualisation of these realities. We were also interested in what visions of the future the EWF family has, and so we asked, “Can you tell me about the future? What does it look like there?” === Featuring: Timmah Ball, Darlene Silva Soberano, Latifa Elmrini, Lauren Sanders, Manisha Anjali and Tamsien West Produced by: Lindsey Green === See the full EWF19 Program here: emergingwritersfestival.org.au/events/fe…val/2019/ See Timmah's bio here: emergingwritersfestival.org.au/event/ewf…-podcast/

What makes a routine or a ritual, as opposed to something you simply ‘do often’? Is there some kind of emotional weight? Or perhaps it is simply a dedicated commitment to a practice. In this episode, we explore rituals as they appear in everyday life: as routines, as commitments and as artistic practices. We spoke with Kōtare and Matka, the masterminds behind Precog, a clubbing experience dedicated to community space and sensory, bodily experience. They discussed the purposes of clubbing as a ritual and a space for connection, “creating futures for outsiders”. We also heard from writer, performer and dream archivist, Manisha Anjali. Manisha spoke to us about dream documenting and the importance of committing to one’s imagination. She also read her poem kala pani, originally commissioned for Pearlescent Verse. === Featuring: Kōtare, Matka and Manisha Anjali Produced by: Lindsey Green === See the full EWF19 Program here: https://emergingwritersfestival.org.au/events/festival/2019/ See bios for Kōtare, Matka and Manisha Anjali here: https://emergingwritersfestival.org.au/event/ewf19-podcast/ Read about 'Club Theory' here: https://www.aqnb.com/2018/05/03/club-theory-two-recombinant-texts-on-the-impossible-space-between-theory-experience-by-sally-olds-dj-sezzo/

Indian-Fijian poet Manisha Anjali was born in Suva, the capital of Fiji, and we begin by discussing the importance of familial and national history in the development of works such as Sugar Kane Woman. Here is the hallucinatory vivid memory of meeting her great grandfather for the first time at his funeral; the free man who had fled Rajasthan and stowed away on a boat from Calcutta to Fiji, his body covered by tropical flowers and cotton buds in his nostrils. We discuss the British colonisation and indenture that began in 1879 and ran until 1919 in which Indians were tricked into coming to Fiji with visions of paradise, when the reality was slave-like conditions where they were forced to work in the colonial sugar cane plantations and refineries. Manisha talks about the plight of Indian women in Fiji at this time who she says suffered from a kind of double colonisation; from British Imperialism and the Indian patriarchy. Manisha also recites her poem Song of the Crocodile which is about three historical Indian women and describes their courage in the face of the hell and sacrifice that is represented by indenture. We also discuss the mysticism of her grandmothers and her own secular obsession with religion, Hinduism, mass worship, the importance of symbols, Jungian archetypes and the collective unconscious. We finish by talking about death, grief, the acceptance of the heartbreak of loss and her casting off of the traditional role of the Indian women, her ‘liberation from love’ and how she feels marriage reduces a woman.

Episode Note:This episode is different from the previous ones. Instead of presenting one big conversion between two guest speakers and I, this episode includes two separate small conversations between two speakers and I. It is purely due to the conflict of our personal schedules. But as I attempt to keep things open in this podcast, I have given this arrangement a go.  So, in the first half, you will hear the talk between Simon Cooper, an artist and PhD candidate, and I. We reflected on our trip of seeing Polly Borland's Polyverse exhibition at NGV Ian Potter gallery and Consuelo Cavaniglia's Between and among objects at Margaret Lawrence gallery. Simon spoke about how his life was felt enriched by Polly's photographs. In the 2nd half, Manisha Anjali, a Melbourne-based writer and poet, shared her special experience of attending a private house event of reading performance. The event is titled 'Freya's revenge' and taken place at a residential house in Brunswick suburb. We explored the meaning of such alternative art venues to the major art institutions. Relevant links and references:Simon CooperHttps://simon.pb.photographyNGV - Polly BorlandPolyverse 28 SEP 18 – 3 FEB 19https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/polly-borland/ Consuelo CavanigliaBetween and among objects 5 October - 3 November 2018Margaret Lawrence galleryhttps://finearts-music.unimelb.edu.au/margaret-lawrence-gallery/current/consuelo-cavaniglia-between-and-among-objects--------Manisha anjalihttps://www.manishaanjali.comFreya’s Revenge - a private house-show.Heather Joan DayEloise Grills https://eloisegrills.comCara VerklemptAndy ButlerZarah Butcher-McGunnigle, http://cordite.org.au/tags/zarah-butcher-mcgunnigle/Marc Pearson, http://marcpearson.tumblr.comFreya Daly-Sadgrove, https://freyadalysad.comManisha’s upcoming event in Vietnamhttps://www.facebook.com/events/307020186552434/
