In order to inform the viewer, I created a collage that consists of newspaper articles found online on the atrocities towards the Dalit community. This collage also aims to explicate the social relevance of this issue and why it is crucial to share and provide a voice for these marginalised people continually. I designed a overlay for the collage printed on clear acetate, which consists of questions aiming to work as the opening of my project.
