Sisters of the Moon views the future of feminism as a necessary intersectional space, wherein the personal and political collide. A holistic future where climate and reproductive justice and a girl’s education are fundamentally connected.

The artworks speculate on the future by embracing hybrid docu-fiction and recognising radical transformation as being essential to feminist living and survival, and a necessity in order to prepare mentally, physically and spiritually for continued struggle. This series highlights the work the artist made – collaborating with major organisations as a tactic to amplify the message and make infrastructural changes at the ground level.

Basu draws parallels between the future of the planet and women's rights to water, fire, earth and air. She highlights how a lack of access to these elements impacts women's education, reproductive rights, health and climate change. The artist presents the future as a dystopian landscape using 'magic realism', an artistic approach which blends realistic and surreal elements. Basu says, "I wanted to show what becomes of the world when women are oppressed. Without their vitality, magic, their spark, the world will wither and die." Working across portraiture, landscape, staged photography and often in heightened colour, blur the line between reality and fiction. Her interest in folding science fiction tropes into her projects allow for a personal reimagining of reality, creating an exterior world that can point towards a possible future.

Basu partnered with the charity WaterAid to create this series to launch a campaign which raised over £5 million for climate, clean water and educational initiatives in India and Nepal.

Her work explores the relationship between politics of bodies and systems of power. She has dedicated her life to advocating for women's rights, particularly in the Global South but impacting worldwide. Basu's work is informed by her own patriarchal upbringing in Kolkata, India, where both her mother and grandmother were child brides and young widows.
