{"product_id":"snow","title":"SNOW","description":"\"Kashmir has been at the centre of disputes between India, Pakistan, and China\nsince the partition of India and dissolution of the British Raj in 1947. Each\ncountry has laid claim to the land despite the persistent struggles for\nselfdetermination of those who inhabit the region. Snow documents Sohrab Hura’s\nrepeated visits to the Indianadministered region of Kashmir over a fiveyear\nperiod, recording its passage through the three distinct phases of its winter:\nChillai Kalan (harsh cold), Chillai Khurd (small cold), and Chillai Bache (baby\ncold). Hura’s images trace the progression of these phases, with snowmelt\nevoking the wearing down of illusions and continual changes of the contested\nstate. Across photographs of Kashmir’s landscapes and communities, picturesque\nimagery often gives way to residual markers of conflict and violence. Kashmir\nhas been promoted as a paradisical tourist destination to Indian nationals, and\nabove all as a place they can experience snow. All the while it has remained one\nof the most heavily militarised regions in the world. This dichotomy between\nbeauty and brutality serves as Hura’s inspiration for the project, which is the\nfirst in a pair of twin publications exploring the social, economic, and\npolitical landscapes of Kashmir, in Snow, and Barwani, Madhya Pradesh, in a\nforthcoming volume, through the extremity of their seasons.\"","brand":"ART AND PAPER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52523322343733,"sku":"9781917651462","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/9023\/3653\/files\/da23a945-9921-4658-8111-666e0e715e95.png?v=1775057986","url":"https:\/\/librairiesanstitre.com\/products\/snow","provider":"librairie sans titre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
