From her home in a small village in the Kutch district of
Gujarat, Dalit artist Radhaben Garwa has documented the rural women’s movement
in Western India and beyond through her drawings. Her images—more than two
hundred of them gathered in 'Picture This!: Painting the Women's Movement',
published by Zubaan in 2014—tell stories of the women from her village and from
the Kutch Mahila Vikas Sangathan, the NGO she works with, in their campaigns
for women’s rights, economic empowerment, and resistance to globalizing
corporations. Here, a sample of her artwork attests to the beauty in female
solidarity.
