“Homage to Homai” A lecture by Satish Sharma, in association with the Indian Cultural Center, on the life and works of the first Indian woman photojournalist Homai Vyarawalla.
Satish Sharma is an independent photographer, researcher and writer on photography as well as an occasional photography curator.
The lecture will be followed by a screening of “Three Women and a Camera” by Sabeena Gadihoke. (56 mins)
The film debates the major shifts in the concerns of photographer Homai Vyarawalla, whose work celebrates the euphoria and optimism of the birth of the India nation, while Chhachhi and Singh attempt to grapple with the various complexities and undelivered promises of the post independence era. This film debates the major shifts in their concerns regarding representation, subject-camera relationships and the limits and possibilities of still photography in India today.
