Right to home

The project was an art and media workshop that aspired to give the children tools of visual grammar and media skills to not only draw sculpt or animate but also to use art as a therapy and a means to become articulate about their rights, needs and desires. The documentation of this workshop will be translated into multi media works to be displayed as inserts in multiplexes and cable network. These media works will explore the collaboration of art with advertisement techniques in information dissemination and building marketing strategies for dissemination of the plural voices.

This art and media workshop explored the connection of Tibetan ritual and cultural practices with formal education in an attempt to create a vernacular curriculum of practice. The exploration of the ritual as an articulation of a thought process was easier for the children to associate with, considering the similarities in the underlying patterns of the structure. The sessions attempted to introduce art as something with which they were already familiar with and practice or see on an everyday basis, rather than introduce another formal subject of study. In a span of 7 days we worked with the children on visual grammar, story boards, claymation, photography, architecture planning and land art.
