I happen to be visiting Pondicherry last September when PondyPHOTO 2016 was being organized. PondyPHOTO is a biennale festival initiated by PondyART, an organisation that tries to bring art forms outside from its traditional exhibition setup to public in a non exclusive environment. PondyPHOTO aims to provide a platform where art and education attempt to break existing social barriers, by presenting visually impactful photography-oriented events focused on today’s social and environmental issues in public spaces. The theme of 2016 was WATER. The exhibition, held from 27 August to 11 September 2016, was spread all over the town in various galleries and even on road side walls while the main festival venue being the Old Port of Pondicherry. All displays were open and free to the Public. I visited the Old port area during my stay there and tried to grab some shots of the festival. Enjoy!
