The Other Side of Budge Budge : a dystopian hell, is a segment in the interdisciplinary project organized by Culture Monks called ¨Checkpoint Hoogly¨. It is an ongoing project, which seeks to engage with this community through arts. 

This section looks at the lives of the people living by the rail tracks on the Budge Budge -Sealdah local train route in Kolkata, India.  

We decided  to celebrate World Music Day, 2017 in this space and document the reactions and also peek into the architecture, objects and daily rituals of the community. The photographs are by Debraj Jana.

Other members of the ´Checkpoint Hoogly´ project includes the members of the community participating the World Music Day celebrations, Conner Singh Vanderbeek, Kiran Bhumber, Pradip Chatterjee, Janardan Ghosh, Parnab Mukerjee, Vidyapati Chakroborty, Varun Desai, Sangat Haldar & Baishampayan Saha. The project was curated by Parnab Mukherjee & Sudipta Dawn. Supported by Alliance francaise du Bengale & Cate Toto.
