DEBSUDDHA BANERJEE India, b. 1989
"I would like to convey my gratitude in regards to Space118 and the jurys for considering my proposal. Through the Grant I was able to develop my work which is based on the relation between me and my deceased father. Throughout the Grant year, I got the chance to interact with my mentor Sumakshi Singh and I really got several valuable feedback regarding my work. My journey with Space118 is about to end, and I wish the entire team all the very best."
