Sej Saraiya (b. 1985) is an ethnographic photographer and filmmaker who has spent the last several years documenting indigenous cultures in the East. She graduated with a Master’s degree in Film Writing from the University of Southern California, and has since traveled to the deep interiors of Asia in an attempt to transcend language and cultural barriers and capture stories of remote cultures.
Reflecting her own perpetual search for a deeper meaning in life, her work can best be described as spiritual and philosophical, hoping to create a yearning in the viewers that is tantamount to her own.
Her photographs have been exhibited both in America and India and hang in the homes of private collectors in Belgium, Switzerland, Australia, India, South Africa, Canada and the United States.
In this visual hour of storytelling, Sej Saraiya will explore topics such as individualism vs collectivism, nonduality, lessons from the indigenous, and more, highlighted by her photographs taken over her years of traveling and interacting with indigenous people of remote cultures.
