Homes features a collection of photographs that highlight the resilience of communities fighting to preserve their homes cultures and way of life in the face of external pressures.
This exhibition showcases portraits of rice farmers working on the slopes of active volcanoes in Indonesia cooks living on the cold mountaintops of Vietnam and disabled farmers in northern India who continue their labour despite physical challenges. It will also feature the Dalits in India struggling against the caste system and land takeovers and the Baduy people in Java who resist government efforts to modernise their way of living.
A particularly striking example is the Amazigh artists of Morocco who create intricate art under the searing heat of the Sahara. Their art is a testament to their culture's endurance amidst government mandates and modernisation. Similarly the Nubians along the Nile fight to maintain their ancestral lands and traditions as development encroaches.
Through intimate portraits and interviews this exhibition explores the universal struggle to maintain one's home and cultural identity against environmental social and political pressures. It's a celebration of human resilience and the deep emotional connection between people and their homelands.
