BNP Paribas has commissioned a major photography exhibition by Magnum Photo agency on the theme of “Women Changing India”. The exhibition has travelled all over the world and will be exhibited at the Bahrain National Museum on December 12th – December 21^st 2017 and is accompanied by a book of photographs and essays by Indian authors, focusing on the vital role that women play in India today.

 This project, initiated by BNP Paribas, combines the talents of Magnum Photo Agency and Zubaan, a Delhi-based publishing house specializing in books for and about women in South Asia. Six subjects covered by six well-known Magnum photographers: Martine Franck, Alex Webb, Patrick Zachmann, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Olivia Arthur, and Raghu Rai have been identified to highlight the cultural and geographical diversity of women's lives in India. Each subject highlights the changing roles, aspirations, opportunities and challenges that Indian women face, whether they live in villages or cities, whether they are students, taxi drivers, lawyers, movie directors or business leaders.
