| Exhibition: Tradespotting | India Habitat Centre | 2008 |
Chandni Chowk area of Old Delhi seems to be frozen in time, while the world around this island of civilisation has moved on. A visit to Chandni Chowk usually forms an essential milestone in the itinerary of a first time visitor to Delhi, especially if you’re searching for the sights, sounds and smells of India as described in the guide books of an era gone by.
When family visit an exhibition they helped put up!
On a few afternoons I went around ‘Tradespotting Old Delhi’ – documenting the life of various businesses and the people behind the trades. Much of the work is done manually; from carrying heavy loads on shoulders to ferrying people across in rickshaws.
