The sung pictures Photo

Photographer’s Note

Exposition of the sung pictures in the Etnology Museum in Lisbon.

More picture about the exibition in the WS

In India, the Modern women breathed life into an ancient art.

Women unrolled large scrolls covered with brilliantly colored picture-stories. The tales, ranging from the retelling of a humorous Hindu legend to a comment on the recent tsunamis in Indonesia, were then sung by the three in their native tongue.

To women like the Chitrakars, the key to the art form's survival lay in using the century-old techniques of the Patuas to discuss historical, religious and cultural issues that resonate within the masses today.

There are many sung pictures:
- Gender equality played a primary role in the performance's mournful final selection, which showed the grief and anger of two Indian parents at the birth of their “inferior” female daughter.

- Within the tsunami-response scroll, one image finds a passive-looking George Bush gliding over the drowning populace in a helicopter.
