Art as Witness is a cluster of barbed writings and biting images
from the underbelly of turbulent India and its neighboring
countries. Relying on the sustained work of eminent photographers
and artists on rights issues in and around South Asia, and on
writings by courageous activists, lawyers, journalists, and social
scientists, the book focuses on the terror unleashed by armies,
states, and courts of law, and tells the stories of brave
survivors. Here, text and image are strained to their limits to
convey the hopes and anguish of prisoners, death-row victims,
murder-victim families, families of missing people, populations
living under martial law, and displaced communities, in a world
where democratic rights and freedoms are shrinking every day. Based
on Amnesty International India's 'Art for Activism' project, this
book hopes to strengthen global campaigns for a world without fear
and torture, a world without death penalty, or disappearances and
custodial violence. It hopes to reach out to a wider and more
diverse readership/viewership through its parallel narrative of
images as visual testimonies, and spillover references to the
popular worlds of cinema, music, slogan, and performance.
