Hopefully, this Kalapana – imagination – will grow in many ways, but in this first event, performing arts and craft are highlighted,” said Deepika Sorabjee, head – media, arts and culture, Tata Trusts.Kalapana will also showcase a curated group of craft organisations who have worked in remote outposts of the country to revive and contemporise some of India’s finest handicrafts.“The intent through this event is to establish a platform for artisans to connect with craft patrons, share their stories and their inspiration for their signature designs. The trend towards sustainable, local products in an increasingly globalised world has opened significant possibilities for artisanal products crafted in India. Kalapana’ is the Trusts’ contribution to this movement,” said Reshma Anand, head – strategy, partnerships and crafts.Speaking on the importance of preservation and awareness on these arts and crafts, Tara Sabavala, associate director, Tata Trusts, added, “For Tata Trusts, support of the arts has not only been a part of the mandate defined by the founders, but intrinsic to building communities in a holistic way; our interventions are designed not only to preserve our rich heritage, but also to integrate art into the present and learn from the past in order to define the future.”
