A supporter of the refugee support group, A Just Australia, she has a deep interest in the issues faced by minority groups throughout the world in general, and in the history of the Anglo-Indian community in particular.
Harry MacLure was born on the 17th of October, 1959, at Trichinopoly Junction, a South Indian town once famous for its cigars and the exploits of Robert Clive.
His father was a railway mail engine driver, so Harry had his initial schooling at the Railway Anglo-Indian High School at Golden Rock. Later when his father retired, the family moved to Madras where he completed his education at St. Joseph’s.
Harry did a stint with the hospitality industry, working for the Taj Group in India and the Hyatt chain in the Gulf State of Kuwait. He also worked as a Copywriter and Art Director at reputed Ad agencies in Kuwait and in Madras.
In 1998, he started Anglos In The Wind, an international magazine for Anglo-Indians, in conjunction with London-based publisher Les D’Souza. Edited, designed and printed by Harry, this magazine has become a household name with Anglo-Indians who live in India and other parts of the world.
Apart from his daily routine as an editor, writer, illustrator and cartoonist, Harry runs a small advertising agency. His work over recent years has included editing, designing and printing self-published books by authors from India, Australia, Canada and the US.
He lives and works in Madras; he is married to Jillian and they have no children, only two cats – Punch and Judas.
Born in 1965 in Dehradun, Dileep Prakash has been photographing for almost twenty years now. His early work included photo-essays for Indian newspapers and magazines. In 1992, he joined a business news magazine, Business Today and later worked as the photo editor at Business World. A considerable part of Prakash’s personal work navigates memory and the passage of time. His fascination for steam locomotives began early as he used them to travel between his boarding school and home. By the mid-90’s, steam locos had almost been wiped out from the railway map of India and he was able to photograph the last of the steam locos and the people who worked on them. His project on the Anglo-Indian community led him to the far corners of India, making portraits of a community in twilight. Presently Prakash is photographing interiors of old boarding schools and forest bungalows before they get renovated and modernised. The
relationship of a space to its history is the site of his enquiry. His preoccupation with the past unfolds through photographs as he engages with both human neglect and attachment.
