This photo exhibition introduces two indigenous groups, the Batek and Semai Batek, who live in Peninsular Malaysia. Through the photographs taken by Malaysian photographer Dome, who grew up near them, the exhibition explores the lives of people living amidst the changes in tropical forests, society, and the environment. On the final day of the exhibition, January 28, there will be a small talk featuring photographer Dome and an anthropologist who conducted research, discussing the unexpected connections between their lives and Japanese lifestyles, as well as changes in those hunter-gatherers' lives.
