It is nearly six years since the December 2004 tsunami devastated the southern Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. This exhibition of photographs by Sohrab Hura tells the stories and conveys the hardships endured by coastal communities as they attempt to withstand the multiple pressures of rapid tourism development, including the threat of displacement from their land, loss of livelihoods, environmental degradation and alienation from traditional ways of life.
Tourism Concern is Britain’s only charity focusing specifically on tourism issues. It supports host communities in their efforts to challenge or benefit from tourism development, and collaborates with industry in the development of more sustainable, fairly traded forms of tourism.
Picture Space is at the Pierian Centre, 27 Portland Square, St Pauls, Bristol BS2 8SA. The exhibition is free, and it’s open 10am–6pm Tuesday–Friday and some weekends. More information on 0117 924 4512 or info@pieriancentre.com
