Responding physically to audio interviews of women from his family speaking in Gujarati about inheritance, loss and the future, Mathroo Basha (Mother Tongue in Gujarati) delves into the emotional realities of generational change through personal movement explorations where his body becomes the conduit. London-based artist Hetain Patel has shown films, paintings, sculptures, photographs and performance work in galleries and theatres. Patel's work explores identity and freedom, blending choreography, text, and popular culture. His 2013 TED talk Who Am I? Think Again, has been viewed over 3 million times. Performed in English and Gujarati.
