This project investigates code-switching as a form of grassroots advocacy within Hyderabad’s street markets. Through shifts between Telugu, Hindi, Urdu, and English, vendors create inclusive communicative spaces that negotiate identity, accessibility, and belonging. Positioned through a narrative approach, the project translates ethnographic research into documentary, archival, and design-based outcomes centred on lived experiences and everyday interaction.
