In our new book JANWAAR. BEYOND SKATEBOARDING we capture the world of this tiny little village in rural Madhya Pradesh, India, which became well-known as the home of the Barefoot Skateboarders.
With only one short introduction text – a conversation – it shows the hamlet beyond what the village is known for.
You can follow our Instagram account to pre-view photo snippets.
The book will be published in fall 2020.

“Janwaar. Beyond Skateboarding.”
It’s so typical for a village like Janwaar.
Three generations, charpie, the way they sit, the courtyard ….

The colours are just like in the eighties back in Europe.
It shows Yadav girls – they are all looking somewhere with some kind of ease, but they don’t see anything. This is what you see as well – their nothingness so to speak. And the
truth is that these girls won’t have a future besides getting married and locked
behind the doors of their houses. I called the photo:
“Dreams, but no future!”.

This day we were trying to interview this guy, but we didn’t succeed … we weren’t capable of putting our questions in a way that he would understand.
The photo was taken by one of the village kids, Sepi Yadav.
