Abayab – A visual documentation by Subinoy Das & Adusyanti Chatterjee.
Photographing every Author, Publishers and Artists attending at the Kolkata International Book Fair, 2024 is about capturing the vibrant tapestry of voices, fostering a sense of community, preserving memories, and creating a visual narrative that reflects the inclusive spirit of the literary gathering through ‘Abayab’.
We embarked ‘Abayab’ journey fuelled by our deep passion for literature and admiration for the visionary minds who brought this creation to life. Our fervent hope is that our efforts will inspire others to carry the torch forward, igniting a flame of creativity and celebration at every Book/ Art fair across India.
