MILLENNIUM DREAMS - A Photo Exhibition in collaboration with India Photo Archive Foundation

A collaborative photography project under the aegis of Neel Dongre Awards/Grants for Excellence in Photography (2013) curated by Aditya Arya, leading practitioner, historian and archivist. The Foundation presents eleven photographers portraying different interpretations of Gurgaon through distinctive artistic styles.

Excerpt - Concept note

“Like a chrysalis, Gurgaon, the Millenium city is both phenomenon and enigma, and its continuing dilemmas and complexities are explored in this exhibition. Eleven photographers, who vary in age and outlook, bring different, sometimes irreverent, perspectives to their images. Don’t look for prettily constructed narratives here; these interpretations silently pose uncomfortable questions about identity and development or unwrap layers where “everything conceals something else” (quote - Calvino). But throughout the exhibition you are aware of the power of the image to evoke response, almost forcing the viewer into the frame as a participant and not just an observer.”

Participating artists :
Vaibhav Bhardwaj       Chandan Gomes               Vicky Roy             Arvind Hoon      Natisha Mallick         Ajay
Monica Tiwari                Saumya Khandelwal         Manoj Bharti Gupta     Aparna Mohindra        Vinit Gupta

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
