Immigrants are one of the many groups at the margins of society that Prix Pictet-winning Indian photographer Gauri Gill has followed in her work. She has photographed indigenous people, subordinate castes, nomads, small farmers, laborers, and others, focusing on uncovering the intricacies of the daily lives of these communities, particularly how they rise above precarious circumstances. Often living alongside her subjects, she engages in “active listening,” working with and through the communities she photographs, to give a platform to those rendered voiceless by the media and the state.
