Monsoons never cross the mountains
02 Feb, 2022
“Monsoons never cross the mountains†is a visual journey through the struggle of the Kashmiri people trapped in an endless season of sorrow while waiting for the spring of Azadi. It is an attempt to depict the emotional landscape of the valley of Kashmir through the eyes of the children, entangled in this cycle from the very beginning of their life.
