Workshop: Remembering Pune’s Construction Workers
In the exhibition and exercises, we used archival documents, photographs, and short video documentaries with voice-over narration in Marathi to cater to a wide array of community members. Children were particularly intrigued by the documentaries. They enjoyed the sticker exercise where we asked them to match tools in the illustrations with those displayed in old photographs. Eventually these young audiences proved active ambassadors of the event by bringing their family members and tools from their nearby homes to our pop-up display.
We are grateful to social workers Bahirat Pawar and Vishal Pawar and events decorator Preetam Ghogare. Surely, our three-day engagement wouldn't have been as rich without their endorsement!
