Overview

DEVICRAFT is not about Durga worship only. It is about the culmination of a year long rehearsal for the biggest performative and installation art in a week-long carnival. It is about a slice of socio-economic life in Bengal, where seasons mark the almanac, with agriculture, food and livelihoods coming together in joyous bursts of celebration. We tell the story through visuals and text that traces the history of mother goddess worship down the ages. It is a time when people become both participants and spectators while deities become human.
