Bengaluru: While Bengaluru is home to over 11 million people, Bengalureans who have witnessed the transformation of the city, be it positive or negative, are still a minority. One among them, K. Venkatesh – a photojournalist, is showcasing his works on the changes in the look and feel of the city wrought by Namma Metro.
Mr Venkatesh told Deccan Chronicle that he aims to introduce the new generation to the classic face of the city. “The transformation of the Garden City to a city of pillars itself has many stories to tell. Ironically, most Metro riders, especially the Millennials, are unaware that hundreds of old timers had to sacrifice their fortunes, give up ownership of their cherished properties, relocate elsewhere and find new jobs, all for Namma Metro,” he said.
The show is on at Chitrakala Parishath from Monday till August 25
The photo-exhibition – “The Good, Bad and Ugly of Namma Metro” – is expected to take old timers down the memory lane, while adding to the limited knowledge of the city of youngsters and migrants. The show will be on at Karnataka Chithrakala Parishath from Monday till August 25.
