FENCE | Friday, April 30, 2021
#FENCE: @hampoloclub have applied to build a 2-metre-high fence all the way along the perimeter, wrecking the open country feel. The existing fence is rubbish but this ask is hostile and inappropriate. Object to the application here: https://www.richmond.gov.uk/services/planning with application number 21/0957/PS192 #ham #petersham #richmond

TRIBES | Friday, April 2, 2021
#TRIBES: several days after bulldozers arrived - at 4am - and demolished their village in #Vijaypur, the villagers were planning a tribe to visit the Ajay Badoo, the district collector - a magistrate - to complain and asked if I would meet them there. I was just a photographer but the actions of the authorities were outrageous, and I understood the power an external observer could have. A 350km trip from their village. I spoke with their chief about their plans, “Only a few of us will be able to, the women cannot come, who will look after the children?” Two days later… every able-bodied woman in the village is at the office, carrying the children in their arms. #india #gujarat #demolition #tribes #nomads #womenandchildrenfirst #mehsana
