Community Space Wall Art

Community Space — 2 museum-grade prints sized and toned for the room. Pithora is the ritual wall-painting tradition of the Rathwa, Bhil and Bhilala Adivasi communities of Chhota Udepur in eastern Gujarat and the adjoining belt of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. The communal cooking pot is an old village sight, and the school midday meal, the tractor and the bus are the everyday life of the same villages today; contemporary Pithora artists fold such modern scenes into the wall's flat folk line. Warli festivals mark agricultural calendar turns — sowing, harvest, new year — through white rice-paste narratives on geru walls. The tarpa circle dance is distinct from harvest-procession walks: musicians centre a ring for post-harvest eve, while new-year fetes often show linear processions with drums and linked hands.
