Dayanita Singh Photo Retrospective

Art & Photography, Events & Activities — By Daniel Sz. on February 2, 2010 7:01 pm

The Fundación Mapfre is showing a retrospective of photographer Dayanita Singh’s work over the last twenty years that is free to the public. One of the most well known Indian photographers outside her country, her work has offered glimpses into diverse niches of Indian society, first through photo journalism and later through more personally inspired work. Included in this exhibition is “Myself Mona Ahmed”, which chronicles the life of a eunuch—a castrated man part of a group known in India as the third gender—which Singh has developed a friendship with for over a decade. Hurry though; this exhibition will only last until the 5^th of February.
