Golden Milk Latte

Golden Milk Latte deploys humour to interrogate the commodification and appropriation of ancestral practices within contemporary wellness culture. The work takes its title from the now-fashionable drink, whose original form, haaldi doodh, has been linguistically and materially rebranded to appeal to Western sensibilities. What has functioned as a familial and medicinal tonic for generations, prepared by maternal figures as a source of comfort reappears here in a sharply satirical guise.
