Unreported Uprisings: documenting in solidarity with striking workers (2024)
’A powerful missive, capturing the spirit of the right to strike: reflects communities galvanising in solidarity with workers’ rights. In our charged and rapidly evolving political landscape, Dalal has dedicated her work to documenting movements within social justice. She combines documentary and street portraiture to photograph in a human-centred, tender way. NOW Gallery is thrilled to be able to bring that to life and create a contemplative space for audiences to pause, learn and reflect.’

Kaia Charles (Curator)
