Today was second day of sowing at farm... We used same seeds as yesterday (white til, moong, moth, udid, tur) one new seed we added was black til (seeds from our farm).. one patch is done... Now we will change the seeds for another patch.. we will sow desi cotton today.. This cotton we will sow today will be used for making seed bands and clothes for 2020.... This year's seed band work already started in 11 villages... More than 70 women are making seed bands, using the yarn we have grown in our fields this year... Today after 3 will try to go live to show the process of how your seed bands reaches your wrist...
It was 19th June the day before yesterday. The day which reminded us of Navleen Kumar & made us relate to what has been going through our minds all the while making seed bands for Rakshabandhan since past three years— that it's time we say it out loud, "Kamzor Nahi Mai", we are not weak! We, at Gram Art Project, had countless debates, discussions, agreements and disagreements before coming to a consensus that this Rakshabandhan should be about celebrating countless such stories of our women comrades which give us strength in our daily struggles for being women. Now when we look back at the past 4 months, it has been difficult to find a day when we haven't talked about Navleen Kumar... And every passing day since has made us realise that this was the right way to go.. #Local #Sustainable #Lifestyle #Organic #Environment #Earth #Handmade #HandSpun #Cotton #GoGreen #SeedBands #SeedPaper #Seeds #ExploitationFree #GMfree #EverythingNice
Today sowing started in farm
In @gramartproject's 150 year old mud residence, there are several spaces where sparrows have made their nests.. This sparrow couple chose a special space... It's on a Chandelier made of desi cotton yarn grown in our farm :) The girl who is peeping down from the nest is their 3rd daughter, the other two sisters have already left the nest... This girl is growing really fast now.. Her father is feeding her daily.. Soon she would be taking her first flight.... #sparrow #gramartproject #ParadsingaVillage #MadhyaPradesh #Beejpaatra #coexistence #green #environmentalist #birds #birdsofinstagram #sustainable #nature #conservationist #eco

Like every year we have collected lots of seeds from farms, friends, roadside, jungles and collectively made a nursery at Gram Studio... Monsoons are near and each day our seeds are popping out and growing very fast... We have sown more than 500 seeds of trees... Very hopeful to see them properly cared and nurtured in and around Paradsinga Village as the work is done collectively... Also we have made lots of paper seeds balls from paper and khadi waste which is easy to carry and transport, with 4-5 indigenous seeds in each ball to ensure it grows, in if anybody interested please inbox it's ready for sale... #gramartproject #gramstudio #GMFree #seedballs #seedpaper #seedband #seedcalendar #beejpaatra
