The Southasian conversation: Arts on the streets

As artists from all across Southasia gathered for Amnesty's first 'Arts for Rights' festival here in Colombo, we seized the opportunity to talk to some of them for the second episode of our podcast, The Southasian Conversation. Editor Aunohita Mojumdar was in conversation with Maldivian photographer Dhahau Naseem, whose first-ever exhibition captured intense moments of confrontation between the Maldivian people and the Maldivian state. Her photographs provide a visual documentary of the years of repressive autocracy in the Maldives, which recently voted against the government of Abdulla Yameen.
