Boundaries—Human & Tiger Conflict by Senthil Kumaran at Mucho Mas!

The exhibition was conceived by Mucho Mas! with the contribution of Fondazione CRT.

Overview

Senthil Kumaran is a documentary photographer from Madurai in southern India. For more than a decade, Kumaran has worked on various conservation and wildlife projects, particularly highlighting issues related to human-animal conflict. He has documented human-tiger conflict, emphasizing tiger conservation and the livelihood problems of people living around tiger reserves.

India's story is one of extraordinary resilience, a quality reflected not only in the social, political and economic challenges faced by the country, but also in its ongoing struggle to conserve natural resources and wildlife. The tiger, a symbol of power and beauty, represents not only the richness of India's biodiversity, but also a living metaphor for the very transformation the country has undergone.

In 2014, Kumaran received a Hope Françoise Demulder Fellowship for his documentary on the illegal animal trade in Cambodia's gray market. He has also won more than 15 international awards including Pictures of the Year International, Geographical Photographer of the Year, Istanbul Photo Awards and Emerging Explorer Award from the National Geographic Society. Kumaran's photographs have been featured in National Geographic, News Week and BBC.
