Asfia is a Bhopal-based waste ethnographer whose work dwells in the intricate, layered worlds of waste and its everyday entanglements- especially through the lives of women waste workers. She approaches waste through a beyond-material, relational lens, often using experimental forms to evoke its texture and movement. This piece emerges from fieldwork supported by the Sonderforschungsbereich, SFB(Collaborative Research Centre) at the Max Weber Center for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies, Germany, whose generous support she gratefully acknowledges.
