Throwback Thursday #7 | Watch 'Nannura Kaudi (Quilt from My Place)' online | In Conversation with Jahanara

Jahanara was in conversation with Radhika Bharadwaj, Assistant Programme Officer, Arts Education, IFA, at the last session of our Throwback Thursdays with IFA series. Jahanara is a teacher at the Government Higher Primary School, Mukta Gudadur, Koppala district in Karnataka. 

Watch the recording to hear Jahanara speak about her engagement with students, families, and neighbourhood communities from Gudadur, Gumagera, Ganganala and Sasvihala villages in Karnataka and the practice of quilt making as an expression of collective labour and aesthetics.

Jahanara received a grant from IFA, under the Arts Education programme made possible with support from Citi India.

The grant enabled her to conduct several arts-based exploratory learning modules at her school, involving sixth to eighth-grade students in various craft, literary, and folk arts activities to explore and document the quilt making practices of the region.

The next session under the series is on Thursday, September 10, 2020, where we will be joined by Ronidkumar Chingangbam aka Akhu, a lyricist, singer and founder of the folk-rock band Imphal Talkies. Stay tuned for more details!
