about me

Hello everyone! My name is Ugen Lepcha and I’m from Gangtok.

Our medium and why we chose it?

The video narration was done in English as it is universally understood and to reach a wider audience and the interview was recorded in Lepcha language as a form of promoting the Lepcha language and to narrate the folktale in its authentic and original way to prevent misinterpretation and further dilution of the story.

My emotions while doing the expression?

Since the beginning I really wanted to be a part a part of the workshop but I was focusing on my college entrance exams. Later while editing the video and working along with Passang I was very proud of how the final result came out. I felt a deep sense of contentment and satisfaction as I was able to contribute something from my side into promoting and preserving a piece of cultural heritage of my own Lepcha community.
