ABSTRACT
As part of Khameleon Productions Uprooting Medea tour, co-sponsored by the Brown Arts Institute at Brown University, Shah took his work with Medea to 30 institutions across 12 states. Collaboration was at the core of these visits – between professors, departments, centres, and even whole institutions. As a producer and creator who centres collaboration in all of his work, the author views it as the core mode of operation with which to develop and generate new ideas. It is through practising interdisciplinarity, between people inside and outside the Academy, that he believes that the Humanities can reimagine their future, while grappling honestly with its exclusionary colonial history. In a time of systemic disinvestment from the Humanities, demonstrating the flexible and applicable nature of the field to a broad range of outputs is the key to (re)building a sustainable and inclusive future.
