Pictures from Stories from Himalayas project: “I Am Not Scared of the Night” and "Se bompo, se, se"
have been featured in this month Photophilantropy Instragram

Photo by @martushkafromeast from her project Se Bompo, Se, Se. "'Se bompo, se, se' in Tamang means 'my shaman, mine, mine.' The phrase comes from a song sung during the annual pilgrimage at Janai Purima holiday and is a way of showing respect to Bompos as leaders of the community. During my residency in Syabrubesi I was interested in the process of transformation of a normal person into a mediator with the sacred world – a shaman. I asked shamans to pose for photos in their homes, with some kind of shamanistic implement." #Nepal #tamang #shamans
