Letters from Delhi

“Letters from Delhi” is a documentation of life in Delhi, India, during the Covid-19 pandemic, through the eyes of young writers from the city’s low-income neighborhoods. These writers are affiliated with Ankur, an alternative education NGO in Delhi that has run writing centers in the city’s low-income areas for almost four decades. Through alternative pedagogy, Ankur seeks to empower young people in the city’s marginalized areas to reflect on their life experiences and strive for a life of dignity. This project was initiated by Prabhat Kumar Jha and Thalia Gigerenzer and funded by Princeton’s Mellon Initiative in Architecture, Urbanism and the Humanities.
