André Aciman will be a part of the Zee Jaipur Literature Festival this year.
This is one of the best years for international fiction at the Zee Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF),” says Sanjoy Roy, of Teamwork Arts, one of the organisers of the literary festival. On January 24, the festival’s 11th edition kicks off at Jaipur’s Diggi Palace hotel.
This year’s international line-up includes two Pulitzer prize-winning authors, Andrew Sean Greer, who won it for his novel Less in 2018, and Colson Whitehead, who won it the year before for The Underground Railroad. They will be joined by André Aciman, whose 2007 novel Call Me By Your Name was adapted by James Ivory into one of the most critically acclaimed films of 2018; Mary Beard, one of Britain’s most respected Classicists, and writer of the feminist manifesto, Women & Power; and Zimbabwean writer NoViolet Bulawayo, whose debut novel, We Need New Names, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2013. Ben Okri returns to JLF for the second time since 2012 with a brand new novel, The Freedom Artist, which releases this month; and Markus Zusak, the bestselling writer of The Book Thief (2005), which was translated into 40 languages, will be in Jaipur to talk about his long-awaited sixth novel, Bridge of Clay (2018).

Three other books will be launched at the festival: Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Forest of Enchantment, Navin Chawla’s Every Vote Counts: The Story of Elections in India, and Namita Gokhale and Pushpesh Pant’s Raag Pahaadi.
In the last couple of years, the organisers have also used the festival to showcase and promote the works of various artists. Marc Quinn will appear at a session titled “After Bloodhead”, to explore what it is to be human in the world today through subjects including the body, genetics, identity, environment and the media. Also on display will be tribal Warli art, presented by the Ojas Art Award.


One of the most popular events at JLF is the Music Stage, to be held every evening during the festival. This year’s list of performers includes Indian Ocean, L Subramaniam, DubFX, Jasbir Jassi, Kutle Khan, and the Nooran Sisters, among others.

A crafts initiative from Kashmir makes an impact through its unusual collaborations

Products designed through the Commitment to Kashmir project.
Last week, the initiative Commitment to Kashmir (CtoK) won the Lexus Design Award India 2019. The award, presented at the Pune Design Festival in the Social Impact Category, has been a worthy one, given that it has been an arduous journey, despite floods and curfews in the region. In 2011, LC Jain, a Gandhian activist, who was also close to Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, wrote to Gulshan Nanda, former Chairperson of Central Cottage Industries Emporium, and Laila Tyabji, Founder, Dastkar, saying they should start some creative activity for artisans in Kashmir, which had seen political upheaval for years. With the Crafts Council of India, Craft Revival Trust, and members of the Jain family was born CtoK, a project that would mentor and monitor craft entrepreneurs.
The support of the Crafts Development Institute, Srinagar, was vital in selecting young Kashmiri craftspeople. Shruti Jagota Mittal, who heads the project, says, “We have seen craftspeople improve their quality of life. Over the years, we’ve helped rebuild workshops, given marketing support and brought their works to exhibitions such as Dastkar, which also gives us marketing and administration support. While we incubate entrepreneurs, Dastkar incubates CtoK.”
Even if they saw a lull in outreach during the 2014 floods and in 2016-2017, during the Burhan aftermath, Mittal testifies to the many workshops they did for the craftspeople — from costing and colour to photography.
“In 2017, Titan came on board to support the initiative. We went the whole mile with 22 entrepreneurs across skills, from copper and embroidery to papier mache and walnut wood,” says Mittal. They presented at the recent Dastkar Nature Bazaar, and will travel to the Jaipur Literature Festival. For instance, in papier mache, she informs, “We introduced different textures and colours, charcoal and turmeric. It gave a cement finish to the products, even as they felt really light. Similarly, we got two artisans to work with studio Coppre from Pune. The Kashmiris not only learnt new techniques but were also introduced to new polishes and brushes for their process.”
“Craft is a catalyst, especially in disaster and conflict zones. People feel vulnerable and particularly in Kashmir it’s also psychological. But then with craft interventions, when their products are valued and appreciated for their beauty, artisans develop confidence. In my 40 years in this sector, Kashmir has been the toughest workplace, because one never knows when there is a curfew or shut down,” says Tyabji.


Mittal is hopeful that the initiative will always melt the boundaries they’ve made for themselves. “CtoK has inspired entrepreneurs to work together as a collective, which until now was unheard of. Each family worked in its own silos. Now the copper artisan is ready to work with his wood and embroidery counterpart, even represent them at fairs, which means there is hope for Kashmir’s crafts. The next generation also wants to contribute,”
she says.

Textile revivalist Sandhya Raman on weaves from Arunachal Pradesh, which will be showcased at an exhibition in the Capital

Sandhya Raman had been mentoring the weavers in Arunachal Pradesh for quite some time, and wished to get their voices and crafts in the mainstream narrative.

Weaves inspired from the indigenous tribes of Arunachal Pradesh, namely Apatani, Aaji, Galo, Nyishi, Adi and Tagin, will be seen on the ramp as part of Enigmatic East – From Zero to Infinity, a show-cum-exhibit curated and collated by textile revivalist Sandhya Raman. “I have been a consultant with the Weavers Federation of Arunachal Pradesh, a government initiative, for about two years,” says Raman, who has worked for the past three decades towards reviving weaves, handlooms and textiles and making them sustainable.
She had been mentoring the weavers in Arunachal Pradesh for quite some time, and wished to get their voices and crafts in the mainstream narrative, albeit with a little design intervention and direction, and strategic partnership. “The Arunachal Pradesh State Weavers Co-op Federation has been working tirelessly to bring the handlooms and weaves of the state under one umbrella,” adds Raman.
“The weaves native to Arunachal are so simple, made on the backstrap loom, that’s as pure and handwoven as it gets. Yet the result is so dramatic. The idea is to let the colours, fabrics and the texture speak for itself, instead of letting it all get shadowed with glitzy cuts and designs,” says Raman, who has incorporated the native designs and motifs from six of the existing 26 tribes and 106 sub-tribes and other communities existing in the state. “There used to be this brown cotton grown in parts of the state, which is now only seen in small pockets. We are trying to get that back,” she says.

Raman stresses on the need for a multi-pronged approach and effort, rather than one where a revivalist or an outsider starts afresh. “The weavers and the communities have seen many people come and go. And we need to work within the existing system instead of starting from scratch. We need to be sustainable as a thought, right from the place where you are sourcing the material, the process — be it the way you are introducing vegetable dyes, or reviving a particular weave. I just can’t tell them to change their fabric; that’s wrong, as they are already doing something. The change will be manifested slowly, as and when they see the appreciation trickling down,” asserts Raman, who is also working towards making the weaves a geographical indicator. “The weaves are very much art of their lives and history, and they belong to the state, and yes, no one should mess with it. We see these efforts — all frills and frivolous — of cutting something here and there and sticking it somewhere else. This will just dilute the essence of the craft. The need of the hour is to recognise the sense of each particular art and craft in textiles and play with that,” she says.


Enigmatic East has deliberately been curated and designed in a simple and yet classic way and all the costumes have been woven in the state itself. Raman is hoping to work with the remaining tribes and communities. “The confidence will need to be won and efforts will need to be made to establish ones trust. Only then we can see the ripple effect in place,” she adds.
