A Hundred Hands gives craftsmen a much-needed boost
The Hindu
A Hundred Hands, the Bengaluru-based artisans collective, is back this week for the first time since the pandemic struck
Edition XI of A Hundred Hands, a collective of handmade products by craftsmen from around the country, will take place from November 24 to 28 in Bengaluru. A Hundred Hands was founded by sisters Mala and Sonia Dhawan in 2010 with the aim of bringing creators and their clientele together.
This year, the team will host around 110 artisans from different parts of the country, with each of their products reflecting the theme of sustainability. Apart from motifs and material, these craftsmen have utilised natural dyes and non-toxic paints in their creation of eco-friendly products.
“The past two years have been really challenging for artisans; the pandemic not only brought business to a halt, but also raw material was hard to come by, making it doubly difficult for them to earn their living,” says Mala Dhawan, adding that organising the event post pandemic has boosted morale within the community.
