Project Bolo - Jehangir Jani

PROJECT BOLO, meaning 'Project Speak Up', offers role models by documenting Indian LGBT persons -- their growing up, struggles, love, career, achievements and life. Project Bolo's objective is to record Indian LGBT history, as well as inspire and empower the LGBT community in India, by presenting video interviews of LGBT persons and role models, who 'speak up' about their life and work. This interview features JEHANGIR JANI. ---------------------------- JEHANGIR JANI Life can be moulded into whatever shape one wants to, if one has the courage and strength - this seems to be the life motto of Jehangir Jani, the well renowned artist. Never one to be afraid of experimenting with mediums -painting, sculpture, mixed media and new media - Jani has also experimented with life and love. He has never been anxious of his sexuality and sexual desires, always open about expressing them through his works that are exhibited in many prestigious galleries across the world and are part of exclusive private collections. Jani even got married unofficially to his same-sex partner much before anyone in India ever did. Inspiration for his work he says is his own life, which has recently taken a turn towards meditation and spiritualism. ---------------------------- For more information and to read the transcript of the above interview please visit http://www.projectbolo.com/​jehangir.htm You are free to embed this video, but we request you to credit "Courtesy : Project Bolo - Indian LGBT Oral History Project" and provide a link to http://www.projectbolo.com If you have any questions, please write to [email protected] Project Bolo is produced by The Humsafar Trust in association with Solaris Pictures and supported by UNDP (India)
