Vote for Tree

Vote for Tree
Betrawati, May 2005

Because not everyone who is eligible to vote may be able to read, political posters include a graphic symbol—a tree, a star, a sickle—so come election day, voters can easily recognize the party they wish to vote for.

Sisti

Sisti
Betrawati, 2000 or 2002

Sitting on a bag of rice on top of a full TATA bus, I passed a building where Sisti bahini was looking out the second-story doorway.

I believe that Sisti’s family runs a fabric shop in town, just south of the bridge.
