Rickshaw-Views on a Social Issue

This Exhibition on ‘Rickshaw: Views on a Social Issue’ is an outcome of a workshop attended by ten (10) photographers from Bangladesh. The exhibition focuses on the life of a rickshaw puller where his family, spouse, passengers, and owner of the rickshaw are woven into the story of his day-to-day life. The exhibition was inaugurated by a group of rickshaw pullers and rickshaw painters from Dhaka.
