Artist Prabhakar Pachpute's exhibition, Canary In A Coalmine that opens today, highlights the mindset and emotions that surfaced from his visits to one of India's oldest coalmines in Maharashtra's Chandrapur district, where his family has worked for three generations
Prabhakar Pachpute has witnessed strife and turmoil of Chandrapur’s coal miners from close range, day in and day out. He understands their suffering and realises the health hazards that all of them face since he was born and raised in an environment where most people lived their lives in coalmines. To bring to the fore, the anguish and adverse living conditions of these miners, the young artist decided to present an exhibition of charcoal drawings.
