This week on Mojarto, we caught up with Aditya Arya and Parthiv Shah who talk to us about the Neel Dongre Grant. A prestigious grant that encourages young photographers to create a visual dialogue in the field. This years theme was Life as Beauty: The Vanishing Crafts of India. We also spoke to those who won the grants about their photographic journey and their work.
