Collected 5 types of bottle gourd this year, from and around village Paradsinga we live in.. out of 5, four are edible! Preserving seeds to propogate it further... It's skin becomes tough once dried, it can be used making different kinds of vessels, decorations, packing materials, water bottles, bird nests, planters etc etc... Excited to explore it more... #bootlegourd #seeds #organicfarming #kitchengarden #health #food #soil #exploitationfree #healthyliving #local
Today, collecting roots :) Haldi (turmeric) - Last year during rainy seasons we got the seeds of this turmeric from a 98 year old nature enthusiast in village... He was cultivating this turmeric from past 10 years and using it to make medicines.. this is the first time we experienced growing and harvesting of turmeric! #turmericseeds #nopanicweorganic #organicfarming #womenwhofarm #organic #turmeric #seeds #grow #growyourown #farm #farmlife #rural #rurallife #countrylife #countryside
Today we are collecting marigold seeds.. we will use the colour of its leaves to colour the hand spun and hand woven khadi we made from the indigenous cotton we have grown this year in our farm :) #seed collection #marigold
Surat is a textile hub where every day 55 million meters of fabric is produced daily, whereas Gram Art Project is based in a region which is cotton growing hub where around 555 million grams of cotton is produced daily. Though the production numbers seem to be humongous, it isn’t translating into the prosperity to producers. The real cost of this production is being paid by cotton farmers, spinners, handloom weavers, textile mill workers, garment industry workers, environment and our whole natural and social eco-systems. With this in the background, consumers are being kept away from knowing these real cost and are enticed into a buying frenzy through fast-fashion and discount-sales. This “Red Carpet” invitation to buyers of each kind is actually based on the cotton to cloth process that has blood of growers, artisans and nature on its hands. Through “Red Cotton White Carpet” we wish to initiate a dialogue to understand the very nature and roots of the process that satiates our clothing needs & raises questions whether it’s the carpet that’s Red or the cotton, the base of it, that’s turned Red by sucking the blood of those who produce it… #cloth #cotton #fabric #clothing #cottontocloth #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion #exploitation #farmer #labour #resist #art #performance #performanceart #installation #installationart
