The Handmade Symposium

Launched by Prasanna, the theatre director and social activist, and his colleagues in the handloom sector in early 2014, the Handloom Satyagraha has come to acquire greater moral density and resolve. A movement that sought to secure the autonomy and welfare of handloom weavers threatened by the industrial textile lobby has come to take on newer concerns and gain in political clarity. The Handmade Symposium held in the city over the weekend made these clear.

My art is as much ‘handmade’ as that of an artisan: Irrfan Khan

“I am an actor. The product I make is as much handmade as what an artisan makes. I act by using my own hands, feet, emotions and speech. In this sense, people who make things out of their hands are my brothers and sisters,” said noted actor Irrfan Khan, expressing his solidarity with the ongoing Tax-Denial Satyagraha by Grama Seva Sangha, demanding zero tax on handmade products.
