Here, the children of protesters in a pollution ridden Delhi, are reading about equal rights, the Indian Constitution, and climate change. Sameer was able to spend some time drawing with these children, while he was in Delhi earlier this year. In his conversation with Sameer about the show, Parmesh Shahani says,"I think this is the most hopeful of all your work... And it is so nice to be in this India... Like sure, maybe times have changed but there was this moment when everyone felt positive and hopeful... so how do we hold onto that."Exhibitions
