An upcoming photography exhibition, Faces in My Window by Nelofar Currimbhoy, sheds light on the often-overlooked faces seen through car windows in the city. Opening on November 2 at the Open Palm Court Gallery, Habitat Centre, this exhibition presents a glimpse into the lives of individuals who navigate urban challenges, capturing their resilience, emotions, and everyday struggles.
The exhibit, which runs until November 5, focuses on intimate portraits of people who briefly enter the view of passing commuters. With each photograph, Currimbhoy offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the humanity of those who are frequently unnoticed, providing a closer look at their expressions of survival and strength.
Currimbhoy, known for her work across various creative fields, explains her motivation behind the exhibit: “My work centres on my country’s resilience and deep spirituality. Many of us contribute to society in small ways, supporting those in need”. Through her photographs, she encourages viewers to consider their connection to those around them, especially the faces often glimpsed but unacknowledged.

Her interest in photography aligns with her ongoing focus on societal themes. Her recent docu-story, Ratni’s Red Lipstick, depicts a young street girl’s aspiration to emulate billboard models, presenting an emotional portrayal of survival and dreams within a challenging environment. Another documentary project, Survival, explores themes of street pregnancies and childbirth, capturing resilience amid adversity.
Beyond her photography, Currimbhoy has authored books and produced theatrical works. As the President of the Shahnaz Husain Group, she balances her corporate responsibilities with a commitment to social initiatives, including training young girls in vocational skills to support financial independence.
