KISAAN: The Farmers’ Protest 2020/21, documents life over a 24-hour period at Tikri border, New Delhi, India taking the viewer up close and personal like never before. The photobook captures everyday life at one of the largest protests in human history, that lasted over a year. This protest started to overturn three anti-farmer bills that were passed by the Indian government. The collection of photographs shows you who came out to resist and how they organised. This is what it felt like to be at a sit-down protest spanning nearly 10 miles in length.
“There was no plan for me to make this book – I only decided to do it whilst I was out there because I think it’s important we tell our own story. With independent documentation of historical moments such as the farmers’ protest, future generations can learn and reflect on what took place.” The introduction mentions key moments that happened across the year, as well as the importance of Punjabis and Sikhs to the morcha (agitation).
