#bookreview Reviewing the book was a privilege-the essays took me to roots, shoots and hearts of Eastern Himalayan cultures, and the pains of growing food. Thank you Rituparna Patgiri for your patience, and the authors for sharing your commitment to sustainability and food security🍄
Exciting project to witness. Much needed work on #IndigenisingTheHimalayas bringing dance-storytelling-archival materials to the public in a workshop by Rohini Rai Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) The Critical Himalayan Collective
Exciting times at a transdisciplinary symposium hosted by CRASSH, Cambridge Satinder Gill and their team, probing rhythm and how it braids digital, social, political, economic spheres. Lovely spaces! Presented a paper combining ethnographic research and archival materials.
