Spiti: Daughter of the Sea

An exhibition of photographs by Idris Ahmed from Delhi

 

Opening on Tuesday, 5th April at 18:30

 

Captured with skilful synergy, the exhibition is as much a personal journey of self discovery, as a loving tribute to the Spirit of Spiti - she who rose from the depths of the sea floor to claim her place on the roof of the world

 

Following the inauguration, there will be a lecture in the Annexe Auditorium from 19:00 onwards on:

 

Spiti Through Legend and Lore

An illustrated lecture by Kishore Thukral, photographer and researcher who has worked extensively in the Western Himalaya and is the founder of Dhangkar Initiative, an ongoing project that aims to link the restoration of the ancient Dhangkar monastery in Spiti with a livelihood generation programme for the local community

 

The lecture will present an exploration of the hidden valley, discovering en route its uniqueness and exoticism through its legends and folklore
