‘It’s Not Curry’ presents images from Kathryn’s 3rd visit to India in 2011. After working as a photographer and travelling extensively through the country, the diversity in culture, language, religion, environment and ‘way of life’ have become more and more apparent. This selection of images represents a unique perspective not synonymous with Western ideas of India and Indian food.
Certain qualities of the people are characterised by an inherent sense of pride in work, in communities and for the plethora of natural and man-made wonders the country offers to the rest of the world; An incredible zest for life – be it the abundance of colour in their clothing to the vigor in how they go about even the most routine day-to-day activities; An unrivaled fondness and appreciation of food, feasts and celebrations – from preparation, to serving, offering and consumption.
