Book Signing and Talk with Betsy Karel
Author of Bombay Jadoo

Betsy will give a presentation at 2pm. Come before or stay after to meet her and have a book signed.
Inspired by contemporary Indian authors, Betsy Karel went to Bombay to find visual equivalents of the humanity, humor, mystery, and psychological energy of these writers’ stories. Unlike many photographers who are drawn to the cacophony of urban India, she focused, often in an intensely personal way, on individuals going about their everyday street lives in this singular city.
Patiently waiting amidst the bustle of Bombay, home to more people than the entire continent of Australia, she captures a poignant lyricism in the familiar. As individuals transform public spaces into private places, forging islands of intimacy, she encounters the true “jadoo” (Hindu for magic) of Bombay and its people. To accompany the photographs, the globally acclaimed author Suketa Mehta has written a companion piece about his boyhood in India.
Books will be available for purchase. Please RSVP by October 12th by calling 301-608-9101 or emailing info@pyramid-atlantic.org.
