His objective when he started the takeover was:āI am looking forward to take the viewers through the lives of #local #people in #Bihar,focusing on their way of living,the types of products they use,things that lead &influence their lives by building a visual experience for them.
Will also be sharing my personal insight that I have observed while living here over the period of time, what misconceptions we have about rural regions &the golds to pick up as inspiration form their lives and implement in oursā

#Kumharwada in #Dharavi is a Potterās colony. Abbas bhai said the #British had settled all potters here since 1921.We visited his #pottery workshop&studio yesterday. He and his brother Yusuf bhai are carrying on 1000years old legacy of #potterymaking in the #Indiansubcontinent
They said theyāre originally from #Sindh &for generations have only known pottery making!It would interest you to know that this #creative form existed across early #civilisations globally.This particular group of potters can be linked to the #IndusValleyCivilisation &before
They make pots of all sizes mainly for hotels.Iād met him at a #museum I worked in.yesterday some #young #designers got to spend time with themThatās #knowledgesharing aināt it?#handmade #mumbai #art #culture #heritage #history #craft #clay #destress #storiesofindia #travelwithme
