Himalayan Festivals: the Last of the Kalash

The exhibition presents the Kalash people, a community in northwest Pakistan that has a sacred relationship with the natural world. These goatkeepers and cereal farmers foster a genuine relationship with a multiplicity of gods and spirits, making them the last polytheistic society in the Himalayan Arc. From solstice to solstice, the seasons follow one another in this exhibition, true to the Kalash's cyclical conception of time.
