Today's story is "Didi's" by Nikesh Shukla. It is read by Inès Elsa Dalal.
About the reader:
Inès Elsa Dalal is a documentary photographer based between Birmingham and London. Dalal believes that the more we know about ourselves, the more we can relate to one another. Her own mixed heritage is a catalyst for her work; she has a keen awareness and appreciation of cultures different from her own.
Since graduating from Manchester School of Art in 2011, Dalal has documented daily life in Palestine, Dubai and Abu Dhabi and self-published two self-initiated photo essays: Contemporary Jerusalem (2011) & Dubai: Under Construction (2012)
Dalal feels as though she is more from Birmingham than England and (having spent 2011-2015 living in Kings Heath/ Moseley which meant travelling through Balsall Heath to access Birmingham city centre) - a highlight of her decade-long career is being invited to photograph Balsall Heath carnival since 2013.
Her website provides an insight into her decade-long career: www.ineselsa.com
