Let's Start Art: August 2018
What do you know about an agricultural farm?
The first set of Let's Start Art sessions for the month of August started with this question. Around 130 students from 5 Govt. Primary Schools in Varanasi attended the workshops.
All the students had their own element of fascination from the farms. Some of the students were fascinated by the scarecrows, while others couldn't get over the tube wells, sowing, and techniques of planting rice. It was surprising that the students, who have never been introduced to the methods of crop production and management, have observed such details on their own.

Art Fair at Faculty of Visual Arts, Banaras Hindu University
An art exhibition is not just about artists displaying their creations. It's an opportunity for them to express themselves, a chance to connect with people and knowing them better. At the same time, it's a platform for the people to understand the visual language, and to touch the issues through the eyes of the artists, which otherwise we don't bother discussing. -
