“Zhoka”, translating to a swing in Marathi - a language predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Maharashtra, is an ongoing photographic series documenting the feminist roots of a one-of-a-kind all women founded and owned housing society in the small town of Solapur, India. Growing up I spent many summers here, visiting my grandparents for vacations. Captured on a recent trip, the pictures are an attempt to grow closer to the defiance this community embodies.
