They are considered to be the first ecologists in the history of humanity. \nDaily hygiene\, language\, food\, compassion\, forgiveness\, the status of women and environmental protection are among the 29 fundamental truths that have been meticulously followed for centuries. \nGérard Roussel\, in his latest work\, pays tribute to the Bishnoïs and more particularly to a key event in their history: the murder\, in the 18th century\, of 363 people who came to protect the trees from the soldiers of Maharadja Ajit Singh. Surrounding the trees to prevent their felling\, they sacrificed their lives in an attempt to prevent deforestation. \nThe Tropique du Papillon is proud to host this exhibition and invites you to join them at 6.30pm on Friday 6th September for the opening. \nThey are also keen to find other\, environmentally-engaged artists for subsequent exhibitions. If you are\, or know of anyone\, who could fit the bill\, be sure to get in touch![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”42302″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row] \nShare this:\n				Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n\n	Related\n
