BENGALURU: From working odd jobs and begging to creating a mural for Facebook’s headquarters in California, Chandra Hosur’s journey has been filled with many bumps. But now, Chandri as she is fondly referred to by everyone she knows - is leading a life she loves, thanks to finding kinship and community with fellow members of Aravani Art Project, an art collective that creates safe spaces for the transgender community.
“Before joining the community in 2017, I had a different life. I was a sex worker and also was begging for my livelihood. But now, I don’t. My life has changed. I do murals, paint and love the life I lead,” says the city-based transwoman, who along with six others, presented photos at a photography exhibition, organised by Aravani Art Project.
