Ins Kromminga has been in Delhi for the past few days. He/she was the guest artist at the Nigah Queer fest '09. The fest, which has partially collaborated with the Max Mueller Bhavan, New Delhi for the past two years has had one artist from Germany every year. Ins Kromminga is an artist and activist who works on a range of issues concerning intersex persons. He/she is the German spokesperson for the Organisation of Intersex International.

I whisked him/her away for a while during the Nigah picnic, at Nehru park in Delhi, the closing event of the fest this year. Below are Kromminga's opinions on intersex persons' issues and the role of art in the same.
