LATEST UPDATE:
Phase III which was intended towards rebuilding artistic models with network of artists supported during two phases has been postponed due to second wave of COVID in India.
We have restarted essential support for artists.
44 rural & tribal artists are currently supported with ~4K INR every month for 3 months till April '21.
The 3 month support is with a view that it will provide artists in dire need of money with mindspace and time to upskill themselves, find new work or organize themselves to prepare for future.
40 artists in the list are generously supported by Art of Walking Project by Pankaj Tiwari and Abhishek Thappar and rest 4 are supported by funds raised during phase 1.
We are trying to brainstorm with these artists to understand what all is possible and what is the situation on ground and how we can contribute further with online platform as well as helping them upskill to technology and other potential solutions for future.
First team of Yakshagana artists came together to do a show on 31st Oct '20 in Udupi, where most marginalized independent artists came together to form a group and now will first perform in a temple, which will be recorded for online streaming.
A team of leather puppeteers have come together near Hassan to perform a show on 3rd Dec '20
