Publisher Editions JOJO
Within the context of semiotic theories and in response to the socio-political environment in India, In Today’s News: Alpha Males and Women Power is the artist’s interpretation of signs to reveal the dominant ideology of a people at a moment in their history, while leaving room for the reader to uncover their own biases that may be informed, consciously or subconsciously, by this ideological structure.
Handmade and stitched by the artist in a limited edition of 300 copies, In Today’s News: Alpha Males & Women Power has been offset printed on uncoated paper in Mumbai, India. The dimensions of the book are 5” x 8”, it is 46 pages thick, with an open spine and hard cover.
JOJO is the publishing alias of visual artist Kaamna Patel. Titles published under JOJO are dedicated to process, new perspectives, and experimentation with images and the book object. The name comes from a childhood nickname given by Kaamna’s father, derived from Flo-jo, the fastest woman in the world who broke the record in 1988.
