by Sebastian Giunta

This collection of photographs offers a glimpse into the lives of the community of Varanasi, capturing the spirit of its people and the beauty I often found in ordinary moments. I believe that each image tells a story of resilience, culture, and connection echoes that I feel resonates not only with my cultural background but also with the wider community.

This body of work has been both a personal and artistic journey, allowing me to grow as a storyteller while celebrating the shared human experience.

The opening night will feature: Live sitar performance by Ravi. DJ set by DJ JRod
