'Delhitantte' is a series of drawings that emerged out of the urge to capture and to understand the character and the contradictions of a city that is such a large melting pot of cultures. Being someone who moved to Delhi for work a few years back, the question of whether one truly belongs to the city or not, is something that I, like many other inhabitants of Delhi, wrestle with from time to time. Perhaps, these drawings are a way to discover what it means to be someone 'from Delhi'.
Priya Kuriyan is a children's book illustrator,
comic book artist and an animator. She has directed educational films for the
Sesame street show (India) and the Children's Film Society of India (CFSI) and
illustrated numerous children's books for
various Indian publisher's. She
currently lives in New Delhi, filling her sketchbooks with (occasionally mean)
caricatures
of its residents.
