Raj Sarkar, KIPF’s executive body member said “Best photographers always look for the best platforms to showcase their work. On the other hand, best festivals always desire to host the best photographers and portray their work. Kolkata has always been a second home for most of the world’s greatest photographers. They often come here and explore this city in a very unique way. They, therefore, have a personal bond with Kolkata. That’s why they are all part of KIPF”.
A singularly rare cache of photographs, taken by two of Bengal’s Monday, January 30, 2017 Heba Moeen 5 Comments In 2012, Pakistani photographer Mobeen Ansari set out in search of a woman named Bibi Kai. A member of the Kalash tribe, which is a minority in Pakistan, the 74-year-old is famous for being one of the most photographed women in her community.
