In Myriad Intimacies postcolonial theorist, spiritual practitioner,
and filmmaker Lata Mani oscillates between text and video, poetry
and prose, genre and form, register and voice, and secular and
sacred to offer a transmedia exploration of the interrelatedness of
lives, concepts, frameworks, and aspects of self. She draws on
concepts from tantra-a philosophy that celebrates matter as alive,
embodiment as sacred, and the senses as a form of
intelligence-alongside feminist, critical race, and cultural theory
to meditate on the ways in which everyone and everything exists in
mutually constitutive interrelations. Addressing issues ranging
from desire, the body, nature, and love, to otherness, identity
politics, social justice, #MeToo, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Mani
foregrounds the power and necessity of recognizing relationality as
foundational. Throughout, she offers a way of reframing what we
think we know and how we come to know it, demonstrating that it is
only by acknowledging and embracing the indivisible and
interdependent nature of existence that we restore our true
intimacy with each other and the world.
