A collaboration between the photographer Gauri Gill and the renowned Warli artist Rajesh Vangad, begun in early 2013 in Ganjad, Dahanu, an Adivasi village on the coast of Maharashtra. A new visual language emerged symbiotically from Gill's first experiences of photographing the landscape: looking at her contact sheets, she perceived that although the camera was capturing the distinct chameleon-like skin of the place, it was missing vital aspects of what was not apparent to the eye, and Vangad began to draw over the prints the stories, memories and mythologies that the exposures could not hold.
