A Way Into the Future: Optics of Cruelty

A recent exhibition by photographer Ronny Sen features images of the coal fire that has been burning in Jharia — a coal-mining town in Jharkhand — since the early 1900s, as well as the unethical and unsustainable mining practices that continue in the area till today. The artist looks deeply into the current issue of environmental degradation that has made life almost unliveable in some parts of the world.
