The exhibition was in sections. When I first entered it was the elders first, then walked towards the adults aged around 20-40, then the children. The ones that I payed most attention to was the wives the ones aged 20-40. When I read the writings on the wall they hard to read because all of them had issues with there lives whether the issue is abuse from the husbands or just not be able to produce a boy. They were ostracized and forgotten from there families if they weren't able to produce a boy. And example I read from the wall was this person by the name of Krishna. She married a person that drinks a lot and abused her for most of her life. On top of that she had no boys which made her life a total mess and and much more harder to live. All the pictures were hard to look at after reading what was on the wall.

Balboa Park MOPA: Beloved Daughters Exhibition. Field Trip #2
I went to the Beloved Daughters Exhibition in MOPA Balboa Park. The exhibition was done by Fazal Sheikh. This exhibition was really really hard to view because of the little writings written on the wall. I felt sorry for all of them. They were all pictures of women in the country of India. And as most people know women and India are treated wrong and abused too much. The pictures were really clear but all of them had this color of sadness. There was no bright colors to any of the pictures. The pictures had this sad look to them. There was also no smiling from any of the pictures which made it more sad.
