Kamalanetra emphasizes the importance of cyberfeminism and being part of the cultural conversation as a transwoman to ensure that systems, communities, and technologies narrate diverse stories.

Her installation, “What is in me, 2024” is dedicated to Radha, the Hindu goddess of love, tenderness, compassion, and devotion. The work draws from her personal experiences in the Shri Radha Damodar temple in Vrindavan. Utilizes geometry, moving images, and sound to create an immersive experience inspired by devotion.

“That Love which is burning inside of me, that life which is inside of me, is everywhere. If you think about the mathematical beauty around you, you will understand that we are linked beyond algorithms. it is the experience of the Goddess within.”

The piece “What is in me, it is in you” tell the life stories of two transgender woman presented in dance and by means of pictures. In both cases the Indian chakra system and the development from unconscious suffering to enlightened consciousness in the sense of yogic thinking served as a common thread. In the case of the Czech Romana Ezrová, Hindu ritual was a recurring theme, and in the case of the Venezuelan Kamalanetra the meditation and the lotus flower. The choreographies directed by Shahrazad based on Indian deities, which can look and perform both male and female, but are ultimately inseparable, or indivisible.
