“A Himalayan woman who practiced Gandhian principles invited me to participate. She took me to her village to partake and record a unique non- violent demonstration of tree hugging to protect them from being felled down. It was an all female operation that day and their intervention was to drive home a point that they could stop the loggers by their peaceful persistence. This is how I came upon the Chipko movement of the Himalayas that took place in the early 90’s. Chipko literally means to embrace or to hug.” - Pamela Singh

Pamela Singhs's self-portraits in Lutholim, Goa will be on view in the third edition of the GoaPhoto International Photography Festival. “One of the themes explored is "The Private / The Domestic;" the festival venues lend themselves to a type of photography which is private or which makes reference to issues of domesticity... Pamela Singh’s self-portraits taken in the village of Lutholim are the closest we have to Francesca Woodman in India, both photographers sharing a confidence in the expressive capabilities of their own bodies."
