Delhi Galiyara
[Founder]
It is a hyperlocal city initiative founded in 2017, under which I bring my two passions together, that is, walking and exploring the city, and photography. I started conducting walks on gender and heritage with the Delhi Walk Festival in 2017 and have used this format with Post graduate and Under Graduate courses on Sociology and Gender Studies departments of Ambedkar University and South Asian University. It also acts as an archive of Delhi from the female perspective. The photos from the exhibitions are part of the process, walking and archiving the city, and also conducting and curating gender and experiential walks.

I curated and lead the Smell Sensorium Walk in collaboration with Sensing the City, supported by the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art. It was done in Chandni Chowk. The idea of the walk was to play around with the idea of what happens when olfactory takes over the visual senses and we let our nose lead the way. The result of which was a discovery of an old dhaba known only to the locals of Chandni Chowk, frequented by the traders around for their daily meal, ultimately culminating on Khari Baoli’s Seth Gadodia Market. The walk took place on Nov’24, 2018.
