Photographers of Repair Culture Photo-Story for The Better India

A call for photographers! 📸 Have you ever gotten your old radio repaired or went to a 'mochi' (cobbler) to get the sole of your mojris (a type of footwear) fixed? Ever photographed these skilled folks who are effortlessly putting together the broken pieces that are often your memories or antiques! 👩‍🔧 This might be the opportunity to get them and their skills noticed by a larger pool of people and becoming instrumental in promoting a culture of repairing and mending than simply going to a shop and falling into the cycle of fast-purchasing. ♻️ Your work will be published in The Better India with your caption and credits 🖋️ I'm working on a photo-story for The Better India and you can contribute in it too! ➡️ How? DM or drop a comment and I'll let you know ➡️ Deadline? 04 June, 2025 ➡️ Theme? Highlight the culture of repairing and mending P.S. I have already received some very interesting entries! Eagerly waiting for yours if you haven’t sent already! ✨ Also, you really don’t have to be a professional! Just a thoughtful idea that highlights the narrative we are trying to portray and a decenct shot would do 🙌 #journorequest #photojournalism #photographers #sustainability #reuse #repair #thebetterindia
