Local couple Liliana Klass and Leslie Jaffe traveled to India and Tibet to photograph the daily lives of Tibetan people. Some of the photographs in Tibetans in Exile/Tibetans in Tibet highlight life at a Tibetan university in Sarnath, India, where Jaffe, a physician at Smith College, participated in the Five College Tibetan Studies Program. The photographs are masterful renderings of human emotion and experience. Close-up portraits explore the lines and details of people’s faces, while larger panoramic shots convey a sense of place and seem to catch people in the midst of their daily routines.
Opening reception: Nov. 4, 5-8 p.m., Nov. 3-30, Hosmer Gallery, Forbes Library, 20 West St., Northampton, (413) 587-1013, www.forbeslibrary.org.
