Heritage and design: how this Mithila transformation initiative empowers artisans
In this photo essay, we showcase artisan highlights from a recent Sabha centre exhibition in Bengaluru.
The "Colours of MAATI" showcase, organized by The Crafts School, celebrated the work of women artisans from Bihar's Mithila region at the historic Sabha venue in Bengaluru. PhotoSparks, YourStory's weekly photography feature, documented the event, which showcased traditional Mithila painting reimagined for contemporary markets. KADAM India, a non-profit organization, supports these artisans in enhancing traditional skills and creating sustainable livelihoods.
The two-day event highlighted the beauty of Mithila art while demonstrating its adaptability to modern design principles. This initiative underscores MAATI's dedication to empowering rural communities and fostering long-term financial independence through craft-led storytelling and sustainable design.
