Context

Along the Betwa is a narrative documentary that transports readers to Bundelkhand, a vast and ancient region in northern India. The book follows the authors as they walk along the Betwa, a river that cuts through Bundelkhand, to engage with the region’s rural landscape and its people.

Challenge

How can the visual language reflect the tonality of the author’s journey and invite readers on the walk with them?

Execution

The language for promotional graphics attempts to reflect the struggles of the region exacerbated by the complexities of climate change. It is a snapshot of the world of the residents, contextualized within the rough terrain and chronic water shortage that is part of their daily lives.
