Paris Photo 2026
Voices Sector
For its debut at Paris Photo 2026 in the Voices section, TAK Contemporary presents a duo exhibition by Karan Shrestha and Spandita Malik, whose photographic practices examine how violence, disappearance, and structural inequality shape bodies, communities, and landscapes across South Asia. Shrestha's multidisciplinary practice combines archival research, fieldwork, photography, and moving images to trace histories of conflict, enforced disappearance, displacement, and environmental change, using the camera as a tool of witnessing and remembrance. Malik addresses gendered violence through collaborative projects with women across India, integrating embroidery into photographs to challenge documentary conventions while foregrounding resilience, care, and collective agency. Together, they expand photography as both witness and intervention, creating space for memory, participation, and repair.
