Abundance in Scarcity is an immersive project exploring the interplay of scarcity and ingenuity in Ladakh. Nestled in the Himalayan cold desert, Ladakh’s environment has fostered sustainable practices and cultural resilience. The project features stories and installations that capture the essence of this resilient landscape and its people. Key themes include ‘ingenuity in scarcity,’ highlighting how limited resources drive creativity and sustainability; ‘cultural resilience,’ showcasing how ancient traditions adapt to contemporary challenges; and ‘environmental stewardship,’ prompting discussions on the balance between human life and ecological preservation. The project aims to foster collaboration among artisans and creators, sparking dialogue on sustainability and cultural preservation, and inspiring action towards integrating these practices into the future, while initiating conversations on fragility and sustainability.
