Avinash Karn
Madhubani is a traditional Indian art form made on canvas, cloth or cow dung washed handmade paper. Restricted to only upper caste women in the beginning where they made these paintings on the walls of their homes, it was later taken up by women (and men) across all castes. Learn more about this popular art form, meet Avinash Karn who is making Madhubani paintings relevant to our times, and try making a contemporary Madhubani painting for yourself under his guidance!
This event forms part of Summer at MAP – an annual workshop series for kids facilitated by the MAP Education team along with external facilitators. In our first edition, we focus on the vernacular artistic traditions of India and meet the artists committed to keeping them alive!
These sessions have limited seats and registration is on a first come, first serve basis. The registration fee per session is Rs. 200 and you can sign up for more than one session.
