EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Paul Tomlins captures the essence of tradition and cultural expression in India. The image showcases a group of young boys, known as Gotipuas from Orissa, gracefully interpreting the traditional Gotipuan dance while dressed as females. The vibrant colors of their attire add to the visual spectacle, with each dancer adorned in a colorful dress that reflects the rich heritage of Indian culture. Their movements are fluid and precise, displaying their dedication and skill in this age-old art form. Taken during the Womad festival, this photograph encapsulates the spirit of celebration and diversity that these festivals bring to life. It serves as a reminder of how such events provide a platform for artists to showcase their talents and preserve ancient traditions. Through his lens, Tomlins beautifully captures not only the physical beauty but also the emotional depth behind each performance. The expressions on these young dancers' faces reveal their passion for their craft and pride in representing their cultural roots. This print is an invitation to immerse oneself in India's rich artistic tapestry – where tradition meets innovation, where gender boundaries blur through dance forms like Gotipuan. It serves as a testament to both individual talent and collective harmony within communities across Asia.
