Handicrafts of India

अभिनन्दन from Gaatha

Gaatha project was originally conjured only for researching and documenting the rapid erosion of Indian craft clusters and heritage. However, we soon learnt from the artisans themselves that need was not to do research alone, but to restore ‘pride and serious commercial opportunity’ in their ecosystem. Today Gaatha thus aims to bring the lost respect and wealth back to these beautiful and aesthetically rich Indian handicraft clusters. These researches are important because just like Industrial goods sell on ‘features’, crafts sell on the processes / stories / heritage that go into making them.

We should give crafts a fair chance, someone is right now merrily making something for us, singing a folk song, in a humble house, deep inside India.

Research & Archive: Indian Crafts

Research and archiving lie at the heart of Gaatha’s work. But through our time with artisans, we’ve come to understand that research alone is not enough. What the craft ecosystem truly needs is the restoration of pride and the creation of sustainable commercial opportunities. Appreciation and awards are valuable, but they cannot preserve a craft on their own, for a tradition to survive, its products must sell and reach a wider audience..
