Anga Art Collective and Waral Prakalp members discuss placemaking as a process and a philosophy for their respective initiatives, which are rooted in community participation and common good.
Members of the two initiatives will share recent examples of rural community spaces they built, imagined for sharing knowledge across disciplines, and collaborating with rural communities and environmental workers.
Assam-based Anga Art Collective was initiated in 2010 by a group of friends who sought to create a space that critically engages with visuality and materiality, with a focus on the geographic and social landscapes of the region.
Waral Prakalp is a reforestation initiative led by a group of Warli Adivasi artists and farmers from the village of Ganjad, Maharashtra. Through involving the construction of community spaces in the village, the initiative reasserts the role of traditional art forms in protecting ecosystems by breathing life into the essence of the forest.
