Survival on 3 Wheels

The illustrated auto drivers stand as a testament to their resilience and hard work, while the three auto rickshaws symbolize their enduring presence on the streets. The Karnataka flag proudly displayed reinforces their cultural identity and the significance of the local language in their daily lives. The text “Namma Bengaluru” (Our Bengaluru) serves as a unifying message, emphasizing the need for inclusivity, respect, and harmony between the city’s working-class community and its ever-growing migrant population. The artwork reflects both the struggles and pride of Bengaluru’s auto drivers, and attempts to make it a powerful tribute to their role in the city’s dynamic landscape.
