Solo & Duo  (with Riya Raagini) works of
Pratyush Pushkar a.k.a. Ba.



Pratyush Pushkar, also known as ba, is a queer transdisciplinary artist, poet, and writer based in New Delhi, India.

Their expansive practice interlaces ecological listening, decolonial inquiry, and meditative, poetic engagements  with subjective consciousness(ing).  Working across sound, language, translation, and digital materialities, ba constructs immersive, research-led experiences that reframe perception, temporality, and relational intelligence.

 

At the heart of ba’s methodology is an insistence on alternative epistemologies—ways of knowing that center queer cognition, non-cooperation, intuitive architectures, and modes of listening beyond extractive or anthropocentric frameworks. Their practice functions as a living archive of sonic and poetic gestures that foreground vulnerability, attention,  cognitive compassion and transformative slowness.

Kalachakra gathers temporal hacks within an archive of translated Hindi poetry spanning epochs. Synthesizing fragments in Hindi poetics with  contrapuntal plead and spirituality,  BaRiya’s anthology represents language’s quantum and inherited nature. Or with what they describe as »chants and lore emanating from language’s dips into temporal devices, of disrememberment, of devotion, of ruins, of elsewhere(s), of waiting, of delays; of restfulness.«
