About the artform:Sohrai painting is a mural art tradition practiced by women in the Hazaribagh district of Jarkhand. It was traditionally done to decorate the hut walls during the harvest festivals using limited number of natural pigments.
Sohrai is prevalent in about 13 villages of Hazaribagh district. These include Bhelwara, Lukaiya, Purninano, Isco, Ango, Oriya, Kharanti, Saheda, Purnapani, Jarwadhi and Jorakath. Each village has their own style and motifs.
Most of the colours used for the paintings are derived from mud. The red is derived from iron oxide and the black comes from a manganese-rich clay found in certain hilly areas. The creamy white colour is kaolin and called dudhi matti.
About the workshop:
This is going to be an intensive study of the tradition of Sohrai paintings. We study the history and cultural relevance of the Sohrai paintings and the practicing tribes. In this 10 hours workshop, we will learn about all the different styles associated with each village.
Season 1 we studied Bhelwara and Jorakath village styles, this season we will lay focus on other 2-3 styles like Ganju, Santhal and one more if we can accomodate, learning all the motifs and the techniques to create compositions. We will create a database of motifs, their meanings and their usage.
About the artist:
Adam Christopher is the grandson of Padma Sri Bulu Imam ji. His family is dedicated to preservation and promotion of the tribal culture at Hazaribagh, Jharkhand for decades now.
