All the art lovers are welcomed, even if they do not know how to hold a paintbrush. The first 12 sessions will explore similarities & differences of Warli & Madhubani as two forms of art. The participants will try hand at paint, paper, acrylic paints and poster colors and try art forms in their traditional and modern versions.

Timings: 10:30 am to 1:00 pm (for adults)

Zen of Photography by Achal Kumar

“I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them,” American photographer Diane Arbus once remarked, very much in agreement with Henri Cartier-Bresson who once commented, “Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. We cannot develop and print a memory.”
 

Learn to capture the unnoticed, the unsaid, the untouched, and the unfelt through the lens of your camera, and make a difference!

India Habitat Centre introduces photography workshop conducted by art-photographer Achal Kumar. Winner of National Academy Award, 1997, instituted by the Lalit Kala Academy, Delhi, Kumar trained under photographers like S. Paul, the Late T. Kashinath, and his father Santosh. He has been practicing photography for the past 25 years. Kumar is conducting the workshop at the Palm Court Conference Room every second and fourth Saturday of the month. The workshop has started from September 2007.

Timings: 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
