Miles to go before we sleep.

As this bamboo set shows up as part of the dowry, a sense of accomplishment stays for moments..

Beeja was initiated and was inspired by the 'atta chakki' model and the 'garh moordha' of Garh Mukteshwar, a classic example of self sustained and flourishing craft cm cottage industry then in the year 2004.

it was a mission to sensitise the adopted community with local materials, grass-root techniques and practices.

Today after almost a decade the impact of the efforts and thoughts surfaces. the local community takes pride in bamboo as material and are happy to practice the craft as livelihood. They now own it.
So does the papiermache group and the Block carving group.

It is a happy moment for all.

Here again with the 'Stories of Beeja' Session Four

Read on! :)

In the month of labour day - May and in the era of pandemic, our discussion could not escape the pains, sorrows and struggles of a daily wage earner. We discussed and chatted about this always being a sensitive issue at studio and how our efforts were to address it by developing self sufficient means of earning. This took us on journey of co creation of a new language of what existed as a mundane but had huge hidden potential in 2007.

We have all had these stories…one thing leading to another… and the discoveries that are made in such a journey are beyond our imagination, expectation or comprehension… In such inhibited flow, often come out the best memories and most inspirational stories….Can you imagine a goat-feeder ins...
