Printmaking is an artistic process based on the principle of transferring images from a matrix onto another surface, most often paper or fabric. Traditional printmaking techniques include woodcut, etching, engraving, and lithography, while modern artists have expanded available techniques to include screenprinting. Printmaking has helped shape culture in all parts of the world. Originally used as a form of communication, printmaking is a valued artistic medium with unique technical qualities.

On the 75 years of India's Independence and World Photography Day, we are happy to announce the launch of Samyak Drishti's latest issue.

I request you to watch and share “0 KM”, a short film focussed on the ongoing farmers' protest http://samyakdrishti.org/vol01-issue04/

“0 KM” shares images of the commons created by the protesting farmers, like the way our ancestors used to gather around meals and feasts with music and dance to celebrate togetherness and living a shared life whose essence is communicating what we are and through the acts of what we bring to share. As we live in a site of sightlessness ,this short film is seeking the freedom to shout I am Witness through the lenses of the photographers. It captures the moments of struggle , pain and the spirit of solidarity and presents an archive of one of the most important resistance movements that our nation has witnessed in recent times.

The film is official released by Omar Badsha, a South African documentary photographer, artist, political and trade union activist and a historian.

Salutes to the farmers and a big thank you to all the photographers!
