Ladakh: A Spirit of Place

A visit to the remote region of Ladakh, on the highest plateau of the Himalayas in Northern India, is a truly monastic experience. In the midst of this surreal landscape, alongside the political and militant urgencies of Kashmir, Ladakh has been recently discovered by an increasing influx of tourists. The boom of tourism imported modern modes of building and living which raises concerns of traditions lost. This exhibition represents a glimpse of the beauty of their traditions and the evidential problems brought forth by modernization.
