Unreported Uprisings (2024)
’A powerful missive, capturing the spirit of the right to strike: reflects brave, diverse communities galvanising in solidarity with workers’ rights. In our charged and rapidly evolving political landscape, Dalal has dedicated her work to documenting movements within social justice. She combines documentary and street portraiture to photograph in a human-centred, tender way. We are pleased to be able to bring that to life and create a contemplative space for audiences to learn, pause and reflect.’
