This project consists of quotes and images from interviews with 19 women across Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, India, archival photos, and art work capturing the everyday lives of women. Inspired by the International Wages for Housework movement, started by feminists of the 1970s, Mai Ni Meriye seeks to understand housework from women at the grassroots level and humanize the subject. The larger goal of the project is to galvanize interest in the “labor of love” from small village discussions over tea to mainstream platforms with influential voices–all in service of a new perspective on women and housework.
