Photography Open House: Climate, Gender, and Caste in South Asia
Presented by NYU Libraries. Co-sponsored by Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU, NYU Center for Collaborative Indigenous Research with Communities and Lands, NYU Office of Sustainability, and NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study.
Bhumika Saraswati, an award-winning, internationally published journalist, filmmaker, and photographer, will be sharing artwork from her acclaimed project Unequal Heat, an examination of the unequal nature of the climate crisis that documents how rising temperatures disproportionately affect marginalized communities—particularly women—in South Asia. This one-night photo exhibition of women laborers in Delhi, India, brings an intersectional focus to the climate crisis and considers how the most deeply impacted communities work to protect land, water, air, and life. This event includes a display of Saraswati’s photographs and brief remarks by the artist.
Saraswasti will also be leading a seminar (for NYU community members only) on Wednesday, February 25.
