05 | Himadri Ghosh | Educating awareness of Indian Lifestyle impact over Craft Traditions
(2017-06-21)

I will commence with the little introduction of India and its diversity and the role of craft tradition.
As examples, I would explain few craft traditions, how they originated and their impact in the lifestyle, as well as the lifestyle impact on the craft.
As the climatic conditions and social life of urban or rural sectors affect the lifestyle and thus also the profession, we shall explore examples to convey the salient points to the audience.
As far as educating awareness is concerned, India has always fought the intruders to keep their traditions alive. However, all external impacts ultimately result in moderating the existing parameters and thus the external influences color the existing culture to bring forth a new culture.
