A HIMALAYAN LIBRARY OF CRAFT AND COLOUR
The Himalayas are not one place.
They are dry deserts and wet forests, high plateaus and hidden valleys.Across the Himalayas, objects are shaped not only by hands, but by altitude, seasons, memory and the particular intelligence of living with the land. Nooncha goes looking for these worlds. Nooncha travels into these worlds - one place, one craft, one maker at a time.We are building a new kind of Himalayan craft archive, through colour, texture, landscape, conversation and the process of making. It is not a catalog of things, it is a map of many worlds - where someone knows how to make something in a way that exists almost nowhere else.
There is an entire world hidden inside an object,
Nooncha opens the door to it.
Come on in.
