Villages were extensions of nature. Our culture was aligned by nature. Our lifestyle was influenced by nature. We can easily see these aspects in a village, even today.

This year, team Spixels asked participants to document villages: a moment of different lifestyles, work, cultures, and an integral parts of daily routines.

By sending specially-abled to villages, we want the village community to accept the differently-abled into their fabric of society. Taking pictures of the village's culture and lifestyle will lead to new conversations for differently-abled people.

Spixels is the exhibition of photographs clicked by Specially-abled or rather differently-abled children & adults, to be held in Pondicherry. It’s free for the participants.

We receive online entries, shortlist them, put up an exhibition for these short-listed pictures, bring in judges to choose the top 5, get them signed by a celebrity & return them to winners.

In the first year, the pictures were signed by Mr Amitabh Bachchan & in the second year, the pictures were signed by Mr Mani Ratnam. This is the third year for Spixels.
