Flowers in the Dust: Photo Exhibition and Seminar at Jawaharlal Nehru University
Organised by Jointly organised by the Women's Studies Programme, JNU and AMAN Trust
Venue: Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi
A photo exhibition on waste pickers in Delhi, paired with a seminar series on Gender, Labour and Migration, jointly organised by the Women's Studies Programme, JNU and AMAN Trust. Photographer Kausiki Sarma's series of 30 photographs, “Flowers in the Dust”, portrayed waste pickers not as victims but as survivors of extreme neglect. The exhibition was inaugurated by 13-year-old waste picker Salman, and the accompanying two-day seminar brought together students, researchers, labour unions and members of the waste-picking community to discuss the politics of unorganised labour, gender and migration amid the growing informalisation of work. Speakers included Jamal Kidwai (AMAN Trust), Dharmendra Yadav (All India Kachra Shramik Mahasangh), Moushmi Basu (JNU) and members of NGOs working with waste pickers.
