Indian artist Indu Antony was mesmerised when she first saw 78-year-old Cecilia and has put her at the heart of a project that interrogates women’s safety in public spaces and celebrates friendship
I first encountered Cecilia a decade ago, as she was cycling through the streets of Bengaluru in India wearing a cape. I thought, who is this woman? I need to know her. She is 78 years old, and has become a dear friend of mine. She has always defied conventions of age, gender and femininity. In fact, when I was attacked on the street and wanted to speak out about gender violence, Cecilia was the first person I turned to.
She has always dressed in bold and unconventional ways – often poking fun at my more restrained dress sense. Her style, humour and sheer presence bring a vibrancy that cannot be fabricated.
