Photo Exhibition
Sky Islands: An Endangered Indian Landscape showcases a remarkable collection of black and white fine art prints by photographer Ian Lockwood. Chronicling a three-decade-long journey, these images encapsulate the beauty and transformation of the Sky Islands in the Western Ghats/Sri Lanka biodiversity hotspot, which are witnessing environmental changes. Produced in collaboration with Kodaikanal International School (KIS) and the KIS Center for Environment and Humanity (CEH), the exhibition is more than a visual spectacle—it is a call for action.
Drawing parallels with iconic photographers like Ansel Adams, Lockwood’s work is a testament to the synergy of art and conservation. The Sky Islands, as captured vividly by Lockwood, emphasise the dire need for conservation.
