One of the standout contributions, The Silent Journey and The Warrior’s Spirit, both by Tilottama Chowdhury, together tell a compelling story of cultural continuity and strength. The Silent Journey depicts a lone cycle rickshaw bathed in the warm afternoon light of Kolkata, symbolising both the fading presence of this traditional mode of transport and the unwavering resilience of the working class. The rickshaw, now largely replaced by modern alternatives, remains a lifeline for many, navigating narrow streets and carrying passengers and goods through the city's maze. This image speaks to the tension between heritage and progress, as well as the perseverance of those who continue to pull these rickshaws forward.
