A Photo Exhibition by the children born into an UnEqUal World

Ever since I quit the IT world, I decided to plunge into a world of the “other”, “the marginalized”, the “deprived”, the “injured”, “the crushed”. This often looked me in the eye several times. Neither did I have the courage, nor the will to do something tangible about these issues– especially staying in the position that I was in!


Since the past three to four months, I along with several like-minded people have been working with the children of Bangalore who live in the slums. Their homes are in small narrow lanes, next to open drains.


Most of the children are born into households of the “lowest caste”, where their parents are manual scavengers, road sweepers, and manual labourers.


The children born here are children like any other. They dream. They play. They sing. They think. They know. The children were given cameras in their hands, taught basic photography and lo and behold, in a couple of month’s time, we have seen their worlds being captured in its most beautiful yet stark contrast, innocent yet riddled with hard experience, bleak sometimes but hopeful mostly.


The photographs are now ready to be shown to the world. Each picture tells a tale of a child caught in the limbo of the now and the tomorrow. The children present to you their world. Come join us to see their world and be the instruments of change.
