Firoze Shakir is an erstwhile Bollywood costume designer turned street photographer who used his lens to showcase often ignored communities. His eye for gritty photos, capturing beggars, transgender community, religious processions, etc, are among some of his prolific works.

Dressed in saffron most of the time, Firoze Shakir also spent a lot of time with monks in Kamakhya and Sufis of Ajmer. One can say that Firoze Shakir is perhaps a true embodiment of cultural confluence that one can experience through another person's lens.

He is currently unwell and undergoing treatment in Bombay. Hence, all sales from the event will go towards his treatment.

All are Invited.
