Event Description

Putul Katha is a special showcase that invites audiences to explore the practice of doll-making in West Bengal and the cultural heritage of this unique art form. Known as putul in Bengali, these dolls not only serve as objects of play, worship and decoration, but also as bearers of stories. They carry their makers’ beliefs, histories, cultural knowledge and reflections of their everyday lives. In this guided walk, Choiti Ghosh, one of the founders of Tram Arts Trust, will narrate the stories she encountered during her travels and her experiences meeting the artists. This showcase is based on ongoing research by the Tram Arts Trust on the stories surrounding the doll arts of West Bengal.
