| Visible Work, Invisible Women: Women & Work in Rural India |
A photo exhibition by journalist P. Sainath.
The exhibition consisting of 70 black and white photographs shot in ten states across India, show the astonishing labour that poor women put in every day of their lives and the gigantic -- yet unacknowledged -- contribution they make to the national economy. A contribution worth, literally, tens of billions of dollars. Each of ten panels deals with different kinds of work that women do. The text details the scope, significance and centrality of that labour to the Indian economy, particularly to agriculture.
Venue: Grainger Library - Grand Gallery
Date & Time: March 8th, 2005 from Noon - 9:00 PM

Palagummi Sainath has established himself as among the pre-eminent chroniclers of rural life in our times. His stories, photo-essays, and other work record an India seldom visible to many of us. Sainath received the A.H. Boerma Award in 2001 for his contributions. In July 2004, he was awarded the Prem Bhatia Award for excellence in political reporting and analysis for 2003-04 in recognition of his "outstanding, indeed exceptional, work on the problems of the poorest of the poor, especially in Andhra Pradesh." He is the Rural Affairs Editor of The Hindu.
