Description:
This show will reflect how wall poster comics became a powerful tool in the hands of masses. A few original and many A2 size posters narrating real poignant stories come from the inhabitants of not only little known areas of our country, but from people of Pakistan, Laos, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Brazil and Africa.
In the 600 workshops conducted by Sharad Sharma's World Comics India (WCI) over the years, a total of 20,000 people have participated to make posters. In these 15 years, he has travelled the country and around the globe giving the powerful tool of wall poster comics to the locals of various regions ridden with Naxalite clashes, ethnic violence, social, environmental and economic havoc.
