I have a fine arts background (B.F.A./M.F.A. in Painting, MDU Rohtak) and I’m currently developing a doctoral proposal on photography, memory, and digital archives — looking at how digitising family photo albums changes the ritual of remembering, especially in the context of migration. Excited to dig into vision and belief in South Asian photography with you all!
