Introducing Art Walk, a new interview video series by Creative India. For the first episode Hari Kiran Vadlamani, Founder, Creative India speaks to Nalina Gopal the curator of ‘Symbols and Scripts - The Language of Craft’ at the Indian Heritage Centre, Singapre.
The show seeks to showcase the rich and diverse material heritage of the Indian diaspora. It emphasizes on the use of symbolism and scripts in craft objects and interprets such symbols and scripts both in the Indian tradition as well as in the Singapore Indian context.
The exhibition includes a specially commissioned contemporary installation by Singapore-based Indian artist and ceramicist Madhvi Subramanian, which fuses Indian and Chinese influences to tell the story of unknown labourers who were united by their shared experiences at the rubber plantations.
As part of the exhibition, 15 craftspeople from India will offer visitors the opportunity to witness ancient craft traditions such as Indian leather work for shadow puppetry, and calligraphy in over 14 Indian scripts.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?

Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
