Gaatha: a tale of crafts

Abstract

The project is based on the premise that Indian arts and crafts are declining. There is a need to preserve them. In the present times of modernization and globalization, crafts cannot be sustained in their original form and changes as per the needs of the market are inevitable. The craft tradition is either lost or it re-emerges in a different form and meaning. The project attempts to show the current situation of the artisans and the crafts, for people to see and understand the version transformation each of these crafts have undergone over time.
