Priya’s Shakti: Augmented Reality Comic Book and Exhibition

In this technologically innovative and wildly popular “first Indian comic book of its kind” (The New York Times), a mortal woman falls victim to a brutal sexual assault, then joins forces with the Goddess Parvati to fight against sexual violence. Dive into an augmented reality, via a smartphone app, and engage in a discussion with Priya’s Shakti creators as the gallery at City Lore is transformed into a living comic book.
