All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Yet poverty, conflict, disease and disaster seem to thumb the scale and make, as George Orwell observed, some more equal than others. In her Los Angeles debut solo show, photographer Lekha Singh compels the viewer to step into this world through a collection of photographs from Mexico, Rwanda, Kenya, India and Afghanistan – photographs that display haunting beauty and startling familiarity. Dare to come face to face with humankind – and yourself. To see that we are all created equal.
All proceeds will benefit SPARC, a community-based non-profit arts organization founded in 1976, and Equality Now, an international human rights organization that works to protect and promote the rights of women and girls around the world.
