Saree Not Sorry is a conversation between two Nepali queers who talk about the saree and its significance among queer communities. It’s a conversation in which Ajit, the interviewee, talks about his fond memories of sarees, a traditional garment reserved for South Asian women, and why he, as a man, likes to wear them. 

For many queer feminine men, sarees are their first way of expressing their desires and interests. Surrounded by women who are mostly wearing sarees or kurtas, several queer feminine men gravitate towards bright and colorful clothing, and they often try to imitate their mothers and sisters by wearing their clothes.

Through “Saree Not Sorry,” the artist paints how some queer men reclaim joy by wearing sarees. This video installation also shows how small things like wearing a saree can bring joy to queer men’s lives and why they love this particular piece of fabric that has years of history.
