by Buku Sarkar
"This is an exploration not only of our strange and intimate relationship but a project about the resilience of communities, an investigation into the altered narratives that permeate their lives, and perhaps most importantly a project about belonging, breaking barriers, and that of challenging stereotypes and myths. It is a celebration as well as an elegy." - Buku Sarkar
