The #faminetales team has been working hard to bring you the third of our series of #digital#exhibitions! Our exhibition on Chhiattor-er Monnontor/ the Bengal Famine of 1770 explores one of the most devastating famines in Bengali history. View it at: https://t.co/k1aFUEic82

Welcome! The Famine Tales from India and Britain project is well underway! We are collaborating with scroll painters from rural Bengal and graphic artists from the city of Calcutta to tell the stories of famines past. Check out our work-in-progress at https://t.co/ldBENIRQe2
The final scroll for our Chhiattor-er Monnonto tale is now live on our website! Focused on the devastating 1770 Bengal famine, the Naya scroll painters portray the effects of famine on 18th century rural society and environment. #faminetales#foodsecurity
