Students from north Chennai have captured protests, floods, pollution and climate change, portraying the many aspects of their neighbourhoods, now displayed at an exhibition
A two-day exhibition of photographs, ‘Reframed’, taken by young students to highlight various aspects of North Chennai, began in the city on Friday.
Inaugurating the exhibition at Amethyst, P. Sainath, founder-editor of the People’s Archive of Rural India (PARI), said such events should be organised in residential areas of North Chennai and initiatives taken to motivate such young students.
