This event has ended.

In 2007, Tenzing Paljor initiated the Vanishing Himalaya project and traveled through the Indian Himalaya documenting the tradition and cultural heritage, a journey he describes as a ‘pilgrimage’. Over the course of six months, he traveled through dramatic and desolate landscapes in the remote regions of Ladakh, Zanskar, Spiti, Kinnaur, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh, documenting the people who live in harsh environments where the Tibetan Buddhist way of life is still preserved.

The exhibition serves as a symbolic journey of a Tibetan exile and conveys through photographs a celebration of the many facets of life in the Indian Himalaya that are uniquely Tibetan. It also expresses the inherent union of culture and way of life across the Himalaya. The Vanishing Himalaya project seeks to document and archive Himalayan and Tibetan cultural heritage at a time of acute change and radical transformation.
