I made these posters for the 'Another India is Possible Poster Campaign'.
I was thrilled to start doing something, for this sounded a lot like the good old school and college festival days. Only difference, trying my hand at Coral instead of Camlin.
The entries will be accepted till Jan 31.
Here are more details:
www.binayaksen.net and www.tasveerghar.net call upon netizens and all those interested anywhere to make posters on the theme of 'Another India is Possible'. The idea is to encourage artists and others to think afresh of what a positive vision of a future India could be like- in an imaginative, constructive but provocative way.
The posters could be digitally produced or hand-made but they need to be available in soft copy form to be put up on a specially created website for this purpose. Some of the suggested topics are: (a) Democracy (b) Justice (c) Dignity (d) Human Rights (e) Children (f) Indigenous People (g) Gender (h) Access to Health (i) Safe Environment (j) Social Harmony.
The campaign will culminate on 31st January 2009 and the best 50 posters will be compiled into a 'Visual Election Manifesto' to be presented to all the political parties prior to the next national general elections. A panel of eminent artists and social activists will vet the posters and special prizes will be announced during the campaign for the best poster (s) in different categories.

I got to know about this from Baruk, here.
Gauri Gharpure asserts her copyright over all the drawings and matter published on her blogs, unless otherwise referenced. Understandably, she discourages the use of these in any other media. In case you feel you want to make use of any of the written and/or drawn matter published on her blogs, you must reach her by email for prior permission.

Sounds very interesting. Am going to take a look at this, maybe even contribute!
What a worthwhile cause! I recently wanted a BBC program about HIV-positive people living in India. It was so interesting to see how those with the disease have come together to form their own communities. There was group that arranged marriages between men and women who are HIV-positive. It several cases, the attitudes (and prejudices) between the castes were set aside when arranging these marriages. It was a fascinating program.
Your ideas are good and hope you win!
