In Pictures: An Exhibition On Capital Punishment

Organised by National Law University’s Project 39A, an exhibition on capital punishment, featuring performances by theatre artist Maya Rao and classical singer TM Krishna, took place on September 20, 2023 at India International Centre (IIC) in New Delhi. Rao performed a splendid solo act, depicting the pain and plight of an inmate on death row, while Krishna sang a Perumal Murugan poem, a Sanskrit composition underscoring the much-needed “ethical virtues and values” in our society, and edicts from Ashoka. The IIC hall was flowing with attendees who, besides watching the theatrical and musical performances, pored over art and letters by prisoners facing capital punishment. The exhibition can also be watched online at www.capitalletters.in.
