DPOTY 2021 - Student Category Winner
Student Category Winner Aishwarya Arumbakkam ka Dingiei ka Dingiei is a story about Human Environment conflict and Indigenous issues. When a community loses land, there is a visible loss of property and livelihood. However, there are deeper, intangible losses, the loss of culture, mythology, and identity that are arguably more valuable. Using photographs, bookmaking and installation, ka Dingiei allegorically explores repercussions of land loss in the region of Lama Punji, a Khasi village situated at the border of India and Bangladesh.
