Dreams from the Dying Flower Markets of Delhi |

The brief to the artists in the exhibition is to capture dreams from the flower markets: the
sheer poetry and beauty of flowers, the flower markets, and the “flower people” (farmers,
commission agents, labour and workers) that are the soul of the market. While just a photodocumentation
of the flower markets would prove to be a study in beauty, the idea here
is to transcend this and create images that reach the artistic realm, and speak in a poetic
language, highlighting the ephemeral beauty and fragility of this urban floral cosmos. |

We believe in the transformative power of art to effect social change and hope that this
exhibition would be a start in that direction. A statement FOR the flower markets. Weaving
dreams in art that can not only touch our core, but also instill hope, a hope and a dream that
the flower markets will not die…that the flowers will remain in the city… |
