The INDIA book is a program of the FotoFest 2018 Biennial, in conjunction with FotoFest’s exhibitions, a two-day symposium, artist and curator talks, a film program, and a school curriculum for students developed by the FotoFest Literacy Through Photography learning program. Together, the programs engage a number of contemporary issues within India and the global Indian diaspora, including economic development, education, land use and environmental concerns, religion, gender and sexuality, caste and class, activism and conflict, racism, religion, nationalism, new technologies and development, human settlement, migration, and integration.

Images, statements, and biographies for the participating artists are included, making it a substantial reference of early 21st Century photographic and new media work by artists of Indian origin. Essays from respected South Asian art experts will also be included in the book.
