An art collective captures the many faces of the city through photographs.
Story so far: Bangalore in Focus, a segment of the 6th edition of Whitefield Art Collective at VR mall, captures the city’s many moods through a series of photographs by Bengaluru-based photographers. It allows people to showcase their view of the city and capture its essence.
- The art collective started its preparations a month before the festival. Over 2,000 pictures were clicked and sent to the collective’s call for entries.
- One of the selections was an entry by Kartik Handral, who photographed sun rays falling through leaves at the Lalbagh garden.
Why this matters? Bengaluru is a big city with a vast and heterogeneous population. The idea behind Bangalore in Focus is to record the diversity of lenses through which people view the city. It is a way for citizens to visually explain their attachment to Bengaluru.
