Please Mind the Gap
(20 mins/ 2018)
by Mitali Trivedi and Gagandeep Singh
Delhi meets at the metro. Passengers’ board from different places but for a brief moment in time they are all headed in the same direction. We share one such ride with our co-traveller Anshuman, a transman. As the stations pass, we begin to look at the metro space from his perspective. His is the story of reclaiming public space and one’s own self. The doors will open on the quest. Please mind the gap.
