Journeys, Dreams, and Everything In Between

Documentation of a collaborative initiative to empower young women in underserved communities in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, through technology and skill development.With smart devices being so commonly available, it is now possible for communities to reorient newer tools and technologies towards oral traditions and storytelling as their common recording medium. However, this is not an easy task as the effort of accessing, learning and reconfiguring digital apps/tools often outweighs their versatility. Content-making and content-consumption is limited, therefore, not just by physical accessibility issues but also due to spoken languages, literacy levels, differing expertise, context, specificity and culture.
