On April 5, we got together at Studio 21 for our second event- an open studio of our work so far, and a wonderful presenation by Dr. Paula Sengupta, artist and scholar at Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata.
Paula di shared her disseration on printmaking at Chiptur and then expanded our understanding of Chitpur's heritage art forms by describing the connections between printing, jatra, jewelry making and other trades. She also shared her experiences of walking down Chitpur recently, tracing the remains of these urban art forms.
Following her presenation, we invited our guests for an open review of our work in progress. Here are some glimpes from the evening.
