Mumbai-based artist Nalini Malani creates multi-sensory installation works, combining video and sound, as well as live performance, to memorialize the violence brought on by the sociopolitical unrest, in India, from 1992-2002. She calls her piece, Unity and Diversity, "video play", in which a spectator enters a living-room setting, decorated in the style of upper-middle class Bombay and featuring a framed video-projection of the piece, Galaxy of Musicians. Static images of women slowly begin to move, forming an army against the atrocities of the period.

As a video artist, Malani takes inspiration from painting, treating projection as a form of light, and often using hand-painted imagery in the videos. Her experiments lead to fantastical environments that bring their audience into a world of memory.
