Experiencing a Modern Diaspora with film-maker...
Ameena Meer: My theory is that we’re all exiles in a sense, part of this diaspora.
Mira Nair: It’s natural and easier to absorb things but much more difficult to shake them off. I’m absorbing things, but the essence, in a way, will not change. I’m grateful for knowing one way of being until I was 19, until I left India.
Ameena Meer: People are always asking me where I feel most comfortable and I always say, wherever I am.
Mira Nair: I used to say, “Between my ears.” Masala doesn’t just mean from India and here now. People from Indiana who come to New York are as un-New York, and then they become as un-Indiana. It’s the new situation, people unsettling and settling other places.

Lifestyle aspirations encourage...

If you have ever wondered what it's like to be in...
Yvonne Meier: Some audience members would totally resist and not move at all. Some people would fight back. I think the guy from Artforum wrestled with Ishmael. Some people fell over and were buried under the boxes; some people escaped back into the maze. Somebody from the NEA came the first time and he was just dancing in the corner furiously. He was so scared to be touched.
Suzanne Snider: He was dancing?
Yvonne Meier: Yes, he was dancing to defend himself.
Suzanne Snider: I can imagine someone being terrified to be picked up and carried in the dark.
