Abstract: What do we mean when we speak of the margins? Who constructs the boundaries of center and periphery—and who gets excluded from the narrative? This special issue of SADI – South Asian Dance Intersections invites submissions that explore marginalized voices and histories in dance, performance, and embodied practices across South Asia and its diasporas. In an era where global connectivity coexists with deepening borders—political, cultural, and disciplinary—it becomes critical to ask: whose voices are heard, and whose remain unseen or undocumented? This issue seeks to uncover those hidden or silenced presences, and to archive embodied resistance, resilience, and survival through multiple modes of storytelling. We invite contributions from scholars, artists, practitioners, and cultural workers who interrogate marginalization through caste, class, gender, religion, ability, geography, and sexuality. We are particularly interested in work that not only analyzes marginality but emerges from within it—whether from within the South Asian subcontinent or the diasporic experience.
