 oopener">Saori Ogura</a> lived in Sikkim for one year to better understand 
 the indigenous Lepcha\, or <em>Rongkup\,</em> people’s ways of life and wis
 dom borne of living with the forest. During her stay and on many subsequent
  visits\, Saori captured portraits of the villagers’ warmth and strength\, 
 as well as their livelihoods – especially the great diversity of traditiona
 l crops which are on the cusp of disappearing. Despite rapid lifestyle chan
 ges\, village life offers an insight into the intricate relationships peopl
 e have developed over many generations\, enabling them to live in harmony w
 ith the forest. The exhibit runs for the week of 24-28 September 2018.</spa
