… this beautiful, albeit stark, book is a document of 40 years of insurgency…
Beauty in Witness is cheek by jowl with, inseparable from, anger, sadness and violence, from the ghosts of the dead and the people they’ve left behind…
Shougat Dasgupta / INDIA TODAY
———————
… a compendium of superlative images backed by text that urges the reader, with a deliberate absence of hysteria, to look at one of the most wretched, morally fraught issues facing the nation today…
Manjula Narayanan / HINDUSTAN TIMES
———————
The stunning archive of images in Witness is, thus, an excavation of Kashmiri public memory, of the sort that almost never gets seen outside the state… leave us in no doubt about what it is like to live and work in Kashmir-what it has been like for 30 years.
Trisha Gupta / MINT
———————–
What ties it all together is the story behind how each of the nine became witness-photographers. Written thoughtfully and with honesty, their experiences allow us to understand how in extraordinary circumstances, instead of fleeing or fighting, some of us are compelled to become storytellers.
Blessy Augustine / HINDU BUSINESSLINE
————————-
There is no single definition that can fully encompass the book: it is a photography book, a history book and a book of personal stories… the individual life stories of the nine photographers emerge intimately, as unique and singular, but also as part of a collective and shared inheritance of customs, trauma, anger and defiance.
Francesca Recchia / WIRE
————————-
A thin thread wraps itself around the book, compelling the reader to untie it and reveal the heaviness of the title and the weight of its consequence. By design, the inner spine reveals the colour palette of pages that bear blood and tears, much like Kashmir’s landscape. This kind of intuitive book-making gives the photographs a life beyond what visuals of conflict would find in a newspaper or a magazine.
