Opening: "Not What You Saw"

Exhibition opening 

About the project: This is an ongoing project on female bodybuilders from South India who defy traditional gender roles and beauty norms by embracing physical strength, an attribute historically and culturally associated with masculinity. They navigate societal pressure to conform to traditional notions of femininity while managing the complex physical and emotional challenges of building and maintaining their physique, all the while challenging deep-rooted expectations of how a woman should look and what careers are considered “respectable”.
