In
early February, I woke up to news of a mob attack on a Tanzanian student in
Bengaluru. It wasn’t the first case of violence against Africans in India, but
this particular incident made me curious about Africans in India, and through
them, the truth about racism in our country.Since
that day, I’ve been travelling (Bengaluru, Manipal, Hyderabad, Jaipur, and
Jalandhar) to meet African students and learn more about their experiences. As
I make friends, I make portraits to preserve that
is a photographer based in Bengaluru. “The African Portraits” will be shown by Tasveer Gallery in five cities across India.
