The end is finally in sight...After 2 years of travelling across the country, holding workshops, visiting musems and taking more photographs than i could have dreamt possible, Vaacha is ready to be launched. On 4th January 2009, Vaacha - An Interactive Village will be installed at the Museum of Voice in the Adivasi Academy, Tejgadh and I still can't believe its finally ready and that the DVD's are being written as I type out this post. The project began even before we dreamt of starting Myth Design and has been a crazy ride throughout. Travelling from Tejgadh and Udaipur to Kozhikode, Ooty, Hyderabad and all the way to Agartala we had a great time, but seeing this interactive finally installed in 14 tribal museums in India is gonna be greater still.
We did the launch of the project website www.tribalartsmuseums.org at the IGNCA (Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts) at New Delhi last year, and while we've even made it past Rohtang and onto Keylong to install interactive displays in the museum there, I'm happy that this time the event is in the relative warmth of Tejgadh :)
So while our team is busy celebrating what we like call, the first interactive display of tribal art in India, I am looking forward to a well earned break, a vaccation i've been earning and saving up for over 2 years... Perhaps a visit to each of these placed without the stopwatch is now in order....
