Next Level Projects and Autograph ABP are pleased to invite you to the private view of Sonal Kantaria's installationNaseeb: Trafficked.
Naseeb: Trafficked documents young Indian and Bangladeshi women who have been kidnapped, tricked or sold by their families into forced prostitution, later rescued or escaped and now currently living in protected accomodation in Mumbai. Naseeb means ‘fate’ or ‘luck’ in Hindi.
The protective homes managed by the Rescue Foundation form the backdrop to Sonal Kantaria’s series of 12 Polaroid portraits, a short video work featuring the perspectives of those trafficked women, and a map piece illustrating some of the now well-known trafficking routes in South Asia. In doing so, the work brings into sharp focus the gender, economic and class disenfranchisements resulting in Indian and Bangladeshi women being forced into the flesh trade.
The private view starts at 6:30pm on 28 February, at Next Level Projects, 58 Hanbury Street, London E1 5JL.
