The art of documenting

Two unique exhibitions to check out: Photographer Rohit Jain documents survivors of the Bhopal gas tragedy 35 years on and artist Nibha Sikander uses layered paper cuts to recreate life-like insects.

Aftermath: Omar has muscular dystrophy, a disease characterised by loss of muscle control and short life spans. His brother died of the same disease and his parents know that he will go soon too. His story, is one of many in Bhopal.

It has been 35 years since the devastating gas tragedy and its effects and those of subsequent episodes of ground water contamination stay on. It is what photojournalist Rohit Jain wants to tell the world through his exhibition Aftermath. "It was the first time that I saw such a large number of children with severe disabilities in one place," he says, talking about his visit to The Chingari Trust (a rehabilitation NGO in Bhopal). A week-long project lasted a month and Jain received a grant from Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting in December last year.
