Prarthna is a photographer and a visual artist whose work explores questions of identity and gender, especially as they intersect with the fraught politics of nationalism in contemporary India. Her images reflect on the economic and political trajectory of the country, drawing connections between feminine precariousness and vulnerability, on one hand, and radical acts of strength and solidarity on the other. She lives and works in Mumbai, India and has recently self-published her book Har Shaam Shaheen Bagh: One Hundred Days of Resistance. Her work has been published in Time, The New York Times, FT Weekend, The Economist, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg News.
