Description

An illustration based on a story about the native Bonda people of Odisha and the coal and bauxite mines ruining their land as well as their culture from the influx of ethno-tourists. The ruination of native cultures because of ‘human safaris’ and illegal mining in Odisha are still a huge problem today.

I had this image in my head of a Bonda girl in the 60s sabotaging a coal mine by loosing all the working horses and so this happened.
