Event Description : The Hungarian Information and Cultural Centre will be hosting “Eyes That Capture” a group photography exhibition of Hungarian and Czech photographers living in Delhi. Coming from different backgrounds and different countries, they have found themselves in the same place – likely for different reasons and different motivation- but with one common passion: Photography….

The collection reflects their travels throughout India, Bhutan and Africa, capturing landscapes, religious rituals and the everyday life of people going about their business. Their perspective is unique, as the photographers are all women. Their eyes looked to capture womanhood, motherhood, children, and the elderly. Their themes also include the elements of fire and water in sacred rituals.
