Description


For a decade, the photographer Gauri Gill and Indigenous painter Rajesh Vangad have collaborated, combining the contemporary language of photography with the ancient folk art of Warli painting. For Jal, Jungal, Jameen (meaning “water, forest, land”), Gill photographed Vangad by the river’s edge, amid trees and standing in the fields; on Gill’s prints, Vangad drew not only fish, plant life, and farm dwellings but also sinking tankers, fires, factories, trucks, paved roads, bullet trains, concrete buildings, lumber mills, and densely populated cities—forces that threaten the Indigenous population and their traditions of life in harmony with the natural world.
