In 2014, Franco-Moroccan photographer Leila Alaoui travelled to Chennai in southern India, where she created portraits of women working in a textile factory. Made in India brings visibility to the lives and faces of workers whose labour often remains unseen. Presented as part of Mai de la Photo, this selection pays tribute to Leila Alaoui and to her enduring commitment to making overlooked stories visible.
