Title: Still from the video art work - The Water Diviner
Creator: Sheba Chhachhi
About the Artist: If someone can be rightly handed the title of an artist-activist working majorly with the Indian feminist movement, Sheba Chhachhi is perhaps who comes to mind the first. Her medium of art making has been documentary photography, film-making and often has delved into installation art as well. She has worked extensively on women issues and those relating to urban transformations in the social and environmental context. From raising awareness about the presence of the violence meted to women in Kashmir to taking up issues of human rights, justice violations and environmental damages in Bhopal gas tragedy, Sheba Chhachhi is one of those artists for whom art was not merely celebratory of their womanhood but also shared a strong solidarity with women from all walks of life.
