ReThread: Self-Portrait Kathputlis with Bhatt Women Artists

This hands-on workshop invites participants to engage with the living tradition of kathputli through practices of reuse, storytelling, and self-reflection. Guided by women artists from the Bhatt community, participants create self-portrait puppets using discarded materials from their own lives, old clothes, fabric scraps, broken jewellery, plastic, and other everyday waste. Rooted in a craft that has long transformed scraps into expressive forms, the session unfolds as a shared space of learning, making, and exchange, where personal narratives meet collective memory, and ecological awareness is woven into cultural continuity.

Open to all skill levels, with all materials provided.
