Event Description : 'Wanted Series – Critical Writing on Photography'

Photography in India is currently going through an explosive phase with larger numbers of people taking to the medium. This upward trend in photography has not triggered an equivalent rise in writers who can interpret the direction contemporary photography is taking in India. 

The democratization and globalization of photography is giving rise to exciting new work that needs critical engagement.  

This symposium seeks to discuss and deliberate questions such as: What defines critical writing? What can be done to develop more writers on photography? What is the history of photography writing in India? How can writing on photography be made more accessible to the general public?
