Back in 2011, Kishor Sharma was part of the a DMJX educational programme for Nepalese photographers. For his final project, he made a story about the Raute community, that is considered to be the last nomadic people of Nepal. Kishor Sharma continued to work on the story “Living in the Mist” and now he is publishing a book and opening an exhibition about the Raute people.
Kishor Sharma’s book was launched with an exhibition and talk at Patan House, a Photo Circle gallery space in Patan, Kathmandu on October, 11, 2023. Photo: Shikhar BhattaraiKishor Sharma has been visiting and photographing the Raute community since 2011. The Rautes are considered to be the last nomadic people of Nepal. They do not own land and have refused to accept citizenship documents offered by the state. Living in the Mist gives us a glimpse into their lives and their resistance towards being governed by a ‘modern’ world. It compels us to imagine the possibility of alternative and autonomous ways of living. Living in the Mist is available for orders at Photo Circle’s webpage.
