Shiho Kito is an English and Photography graduate from Tokyo and London. She was awarded the Prime Minister's Initiative Funds from the British Council twice, in 2008 and 2010, for her residence program at the National Institute of Design in India. In this Friday Funda talk Shiho shared her experiences of India through her eyes. Her photographs had interesting stories attached to them. She talked about a landscape project ‘Pikari’ (shining in Japanese) that covered the light of Diwali in the city of Ahmedabad. 

Her portrait project ‘Walls’ also had many tales attached to it. Shiho’s photographs depict how an Indian town (Ahmedabad) changes over time and gives rise to many unheard stories.
