This photographic installation distills work done by Arati Kumar Rao over the past three years in criss-crossing the Ganga-Brahmaputra basin — the largest river basin in the world. It will take you on a journey upriver from the many-tongued mouth of the Ganga delta (Sundarbans), into the womb of the Brahmaputra basin (Arunachal Pradesh). The journey will explore slow violence through stories of personal loss, biodiversity decline, vanishing livelihoods, thoughtless anthropogenic activities, and forced human migration.
