Dharohar with Indian Folk Art Corridor

Step into a world of colour, tradition, and storytelling at “Dharohar,” a special celebration of Indian folk art taking place at The Art Corridor on Monday 26 May 2025. This event brings together a vibrant collection of regional art forms that have been passed down through generations, each one reflecting the culture, community, and everyday life of India’s diverse landscape.

From the intricate linework of Madhubani to the bold, earthy tones of Warli, this showcase is a chance to see and learn about traditional Indian folk styles that often go unnoticed in mainstream galleries. Artists and curators will be on hand throughout the day, ready to share insights into the symbolism, history, and techniques behind the work on display.

What makes Dharohar special isn’t just the viewing — it’s the doing. Visitors will be invited to take part in hands-on workshops where they can try their hand at block printing, miniature painting, and more. Whether you're a seasoned creative or simply curious, it’s a rare chance to learn directly from artists keeping these ancient traditions alive.

This event is a great opportunity for families, students, artists, and anyone with an interest in culture to engage with folk art in a fun, approachable way. Expect a relaxed, community-focused atmosphere where questions are encouraged, and creativity is celebrated.

Admission is free, but booking is essential to help manage numbers and create an enjoyable experience for all attendees. Refreshments will be available, and there’ll be opportunities to purchase artwork and handmade pieces directly from the artists, supporting grassroots talent and fair trade.

Whether you stay for an hour or the whole day, Dharohar is sure to leave you with a deeper appreciation for India’s rich artistic heritage — and maybe even a new hobby or two.
