Title ProperPhotographs of people, monument for a city
LanguageENG
AuthorRoychoudhuri, Ranu
Summary / Abstract (Note)In the late 1970s, a photo-documentation project titled ‘People of Calcutta’ aimed at bringing about positive social change through imaging the everyday lives of ordinary Calcuttans. These photographs responded to a post-colonial situation and created a ‘counter-narrative’ of the agency of the urban poor. Weaving together photographs and their intellectual history, this paper charts the ways in which this visual documentation invested deeply in human development while providing a ‘positive image’ of the urban poor.
