Gauri Gill received the title and 100,000 Swiss Francs at an award ceremony at V&A Museum in London on 28 September.
Indian photographer Gauri Gill was announced as the winner of the tenth cycle of the Prix Pictet, the global award for photography and sustainability receiving the prize of 100,000 Swiss Francs. Gauri Gill was selected from a shortlist of 12 photographers by an independent jury.
Gill’s work emphasises her belief in working with and through community, in what she calls ‘active listening’. For more than two decades, she has been engaged closely with marginalised communities in the desert of western Rajasthan, and for the last decade with Indigenous artists in Maharashtra.
Her winning series ‘Notes from the Desert’ looks at whole spectrum of life: drought years and the year of a great monsoon - when Barmer became Kashmir
