Goethe-Zentrum Hyderabad organises a unique photographic initiative and curated by Prashant Manchikanti, the aim of the project is to provide visual perspectives on relevant issues, and at the same time encourage photographic talent in the Twin-Cities.
Concept for PERSPEKTIVEN 3 :
Die indische Frau - Faces and Forces of the Indian Woman
The image of woman, as a visual and discursive sign in modern-day India, reveals that women have long been granted a 'privileged visibility' in films, advertisements, photography and other visual media. The question to be raised is whether this seeming privilege extends to the life of all Indian women, or have they all the while been denied the position they are portrayed to have?
The exhibition 'Die indische Frau - Faces and Forces of the Indian Woman' seeks to explore the contradictions that exist in the lives of Indian Women. Are they the goddesses portrayed in the media and on the cover of magazines? Does one see Shakti-maa at back-breaking work in the field feeding the nation? How does one portray the complexity of the state of the Indian woman? In the true spirit of this photographic series, let us seek these perspectives.
