India, March 29 -- A day centred on the idea of learning through the hand, Hastaantar, will bring together craft, performance, workshops and conversations in an informal setting where participants can watch, listen and try their hand at different practices. Curated by Padma Bhushan awardee Rajeev Sethi, the title 'Hastaantar' literally translates to transmission through hands. The programme opens with 'Charkha Naulakha', a live spinning session by five spinners from Jaipur, where the audience will be invited to take part in a workshop that introduces the relevance of the charkha in contemporary craft. Another highlight would be 'The Last Calligrapher', where graphic novelist Vishwajyoti Ghosh and Mohammad Ghalib, Old Delhi's last calligrapher from Urdu Bazaar, will demonstrate how script travels from hand to image. The conversation will also extend into contemporary questions in 'Designer, Karigar aur Voh'. "Around 100 alumni from Jiyo (a project of the Asian Heritage Foundation) will speak about what the dialogue is between the designers and the artisans and the new 'voh' in the picture which is AI, so that we understand the balance between the three," shares Sethi. While the event celebrates traditions, several Gen Z students are part of the team working alongside Sethi. "The day is about the future... and I have young, fresh minds that are steering the ship," he signs off....
