Earth Calling

Earth Calling

“Earth Calling” was a uniquely curated Shadow Puppetry Workshop that united 50 young minds with the essence of traditional artistry while exploring the urgent theme of Global Warming. It was an unforgettable fusion of creativity, education, and cultural preservation.

Led by the masterful Selvaraj, a Thol Paavai Koothu/Tholu Bommalattam exponent from a hereditary lineage of artists, the workshop mesmerized everyone as puppets came to life through the captivating art of shadow puppetry.

With a focus on the pressing concept of Global Warming, the workshop empowered the young participants to brainstorm solutions and weave captivating stories. Under Selvaraj’s meticulous guidance, the children mastered the fading folk tradition, honing their storytelling skills through shadow puppetry over the immersive two-day workshop. The workshop concluded with awe-inspiring presentations by the children.
