->> Kind of a late post but for those of you that have nothing going on tonight. Dai Sugano from the San Jose Mercury News will be doing a presentation on "India's Left Behind"
"Thursday, September 3, 2009 -
San Francisco Exposure Gallery
801 Howard Street @ 4th, SF CA
The Opening is from 6-9 PM, and PhotoNight with Dai Sugano @ 7 PM!
The San Francisco Exposure Gallery presents a new exhibit entitled "India's Left Behind." The exhibit features the work of Dai Sugano, an Emmy Award-winning photojournalist and senior multimedia editor at The San Jose Mercury News. His interactive storytelling has been recognized two years in a row by the Pictures of the Year International contest. Last year, Sugano covered a number of stories in India including the country's vast poverty.
India's rising prosperity is a remarkable story. Millions of people have been lifted from poverty in recent years. But the new glitter of India's cities can't hide the grim reality that remains daily life for hundreds of millions of its citizens. About one-third of the world's poor people live in India. More than 450 million Indians exist on less than $1.25 a day, according to the World Bank. More than 6 million of those desperately poor Indians live in Mumbai, representing about half the residents of the nation's financial hub. They dwell in gigantic slums and roadside shanties that press up against the shimmering high-rises that serve as the most conspicuous symbols of India's new affluence.
These photos show what that other Mumbai - the one still waiting for prosperity - looks like up close. "
hope to see all of you there tonight! |
