Nature of Event: Photographs depicting the treatment of women in India.
The Beloved Daughters Exhibition at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa was presented by Fazai Sheikh, represented the women from the country of India. The pictures almost seemed bleek, a sort of calmness embeded mixed with sadness and agony due to the often black and white tones showing plain facial expressions, meaning no smiling of any sort. The exhibition itself was set up in a way, that clearly identified the chronological order of people taken by Fazai, due to age group. There was also writing associated with the stories of the women the photographer took. A large majority of the photos depicted women in a futile state of mind, almost helpless to move out of the situation they are in, and the juxtaposition of the various elements seen in the pictures, with regards to the treatment of women in India, was fairly represented by the photos in this exhibition. Tones used in different contexts can evoke a different emotions that an audience can recieve by viewing an artist's work. This exhibit was extraordinary in that regard, and in doing so, has produced a powerful denotative meaning.
