FOTOD | Kas Indias on lehmad tähtsamad kui naised?

Toimetas Piret Kütt, 29. juuni 2017

Indias on palju kõneainet tekitanud 23aastase Sujatro Goshi fotoprojekt, milles kunstnik on naisi näidanud lehmamaskis. Noormees on esitanud küsimuse, kas õrnema soo esindajad on tema riigis sealsest pühast loomast vähemtähtsad.

My art comes as a form of protest. In my country Cows are more important than a woman's life with more security. (Reference: Majority of Hindus believe cow as their holy animal and they worship it though Majority of Muslims consume it as a part of their daily meal.) The debate is never ending "Whether to consume or worship it" but gaining political benefits out of it is wrong. Why not let the people decide what they want to consume. I will be photographing women from different parts of the society. I would be more than happy if you reach out to me and want to get photographed or maybe join this form of protest. (Unable to disclose name for security reasons) says : "The mask instils a feeling of closure in the world of creepy gazes and lewd comments. This makes me feel empowered and safe. Empowered because I can raise my voice against these political miscreants and safe because it conceals my identity." #RisingBeyondJingoism #WHPstandout #bedroom #cow #women #protest #womenpower #politics #indiarising #phonecall #live #animals #love #laugh #art #conversation #everydayeverywhere #indiaphotoproject #everydayindia #womenphotographers #myfeatureshoot
