In the summer of 2007, Riet Vandenbranden and Ignace Maes traveled through the remote province of Orissa, India. As Orissa is rarely visited by tourists, the region remained beautifully intact. One of the hill tribes of the region, the Adivasi, still have a highly traditional lifestyle. The beautiful tattoos, handmade jewelry and folkloric dress form a unique and colourful mix which combines objects from different cultures living in Orissa. The coffee table book honours the people of India and reveals their striking beauty. The book is dedicated to a people that deserves recognition, human rights and respect. With this book we want to help the people of Orissa to continue living in their traditional way.
