Basic Information
[edit]Name of the Event/Activity
[edit]Type of Event/Activity
[edit]- Photography walk & workshop
Purpose of the Event/Activity
[edit]- To create documentation on Bandari - Gussadi festival on Wikimedia platforms. This is a tribal festival that happens in Adilabad during the Diwali season, but we didn't have any images or an English Wikipedia article. We only had details on Telugu Wikipedia and images of the dance replicated at Golkonda Fort, Hyderabad.
- During the last photowalk organized by me, we took established photographers from Hyderabad to capture this event, but this time, we are involving budding photographers from a college in Hyderabad, along with a skilled street photographer from Hyderabad. This will function as a photography workshop, where the students learn from the professional. It also serves as an education project, teaching students to see through the lens of a professional.
Expected start date and end date of the Event/Activity
[edit]- 13 October 2024 to 13 November 2024
