Not What You Saw

Foam presents the first museum exhibition of London based photographer Keerthana Kunnath, who uses the camera as a tool to address socio-cultural issues. For her debut series Not What You Saw Kunnath documented female bodybuilders in Kerela, Southern India, to break conventional stereotypes and reshape the cultural constructs of gender and beauty in the region. The images, exuding both strength and softness, invite the viewer to question preconceptions of what a woman should look like - and look again.
