The Canvas of Your Life through Pattachitra Art (8-18 yrs)

Step into the vibrant world of Patachitra with a twist! Originating from the traditional scroll painters of Bengal, this workshop transcends storytelling boundaries by inviting budding artists to craft their life narratives onto scrolls. Embracing the rich heritage of Patachitra, teens will embark on a journey of self-expression, weaving personal experiences, dreams, and aspirations into intricate tapestries of colour and emotion. The children will delve into the essence of their individual stories, infusing each brushstroke with authenticity and resonance. From humble beginnings to triumphant milestones, every detail becomes a stroke of empowerment, a celebration of personal identity. With each scroll unfurling a unique saga, the workshop not only preserves the cultural legacy of Patachitra but also empowers the next generation to paint the canvas of their lives with boundless creativity and conviction.
