SUMMARY:Putul Katha
DESCRIPTION:Enter a world steeped in tradition\, shaped by a craft that dat
 es back thousands of years!\n\nPutul Katha is a special showcase that invi
 tes audiences to explore the practice of doll-making in West Bengal and th
 e cultural heritage of this unique art form. While the display mainly high
 lights one-of-a-kind hand-pressed clay dolls and some other variations\, t
 he region has had a rich history of dolls being made from almost every nat
 ural material —from seeds\, leaves and wood\, to metal\, glass\, fabric\
 , and more. The makers’ of these artefacts were not just limited to indi
 vidual artists\, but included families and even entire villages or communi
 ties\, each with their own creative expression and heritage.\n\nKnown as p
 utul in Bengali\, these dolls not only serve as objects of play\, worship 
 and decoration\, but also as bearers of stories. They carry their makers
 ’ beliefs\, histories\, cultural knowledge and reflections of their ever
 yday lives.\n\nJoin us to discover the unique history of these objects and
  the rich stories they tell.\n\nPutul Katha is accompanied by the followin
 g events:\n- Clay Doll-Making with Sunderbans Doll Artists\n- Maati Katha 
 (Earth Stories) – An Object &amp\; Material Theatre Performance\n\nThis 
 showcase is based on ongoing research by the Tram Arts Trust on the storie
 s surrounding the doll arts of West Bengal.
