A child can make a toy out of
anything. Be it the leftovers from the garbage dump or highly sophisticated gazettes
that cost a fortune, the attention is immaculate.
Anywhere can be the playground of
a child – a leveller, free of class discrimination.
These photographs are artistic
expression of collective effort of a group of one of the most marginalized social
formations - children of sex workers.
Taken at Gudia centre for sex
workers’ children at the red-light area (still) of Shivdaspur locality in
Varanasi, these photographs convey this feeling. Untrained children here have
created model of a water theme park from waste material after their visit to
the water park on the outskirts of the city.
And the
seniors at the Gudia centre say the model is a matching model replica of the
water park capturing elements in detail. Such a good work in only possible when
it is done with pure joy at heart.
Gudia is a not-for-profit working
against human trafficking for forced prostitution.
